The concert consists of three sentences, corresponding to three visual artistic works put into music. The three works represent our understanding of the universe through three separate periods, three different visual mediums and three completely different approaches: realistic, naïve and abstract, with a roguish tone present in all three of them. The composer approached these three entities as if approaching a silent movie – normally having live music played while it was screened – but she decided to upgrade this old approach with new expressive means and also new, electronic instruments. The common thread of all the three – universe – is interesting to the author not merely as a goal, but more than anything as an associative tool for spreading our mental horizons in everyday lives.
