Cl: sustain a drone, introduce in it attacks (brief complex timbre), on some inner pulse, change or repeat.
Ky: Sustaine two notes, change sometimes within the 2' min blocs, and add *variations: either add briefely one of the notes on any another octave, orsoustract briefly one note, this can be repeated (short cells, feeling of pulse). The keys can be hit strongly to make the mechanic noise audible.
Db: constant, quite light, regular bowing, mark strongly the bow direction changes (change of timbre as a rythmic element). Slow tempo, simily
regular (may vary slightly at will)[M] The melody is played once. The melody is played together at 100bpm, in pair, but slightly out of sync, and every white note is sustained for alonger time
Start and stop all together. Short silence (5 secondes) between the parts.

Db: pizz, same tempo as Vb (together)
