Like a perpetual-motion machine, the piece 'Distant Runes and Incarnations' by the American composer Joseph Schwantner whirrs past. A transparent bright music, utterly unproblematic and free of gloomy thoughts. Many associations are possible, from carefree summer mornings in nature to clear, merrily gurgling waters or fountains. Music that is filled with light and that makes the mind light, free and open to everything bright.
