Composed for the project Rotterdam is Many Places, Cultural Capital 2001 it is recorded on the CD ‘Captured images’, published by Beta Imaginations, Rotterdam 2000.

The score is a graphical representation (see below) of the art work Vierkant eiland in de plas (Square Island in the Pond) by Frans de Wit.

The work is a mirror canon, i.e. the score is read both normally and upside down in retrograde. Also the third movement of Lied der Schwermut, which als has a graphic score.
