The piece is about liberation from the Tyranny of Time.
EXODOS (in ancient Greek drama) – is the final scene or departure,
especially in a tragedy.
The piece features a slow and at times dramatic process of
transformation from and dissolution of a very precise,
almost mechanical type of rhythmic structure into a minimalist
set of ever-repeated chords, almost free from any rhythmic process,
resembling a funeral procession, with some almost aleatoric
formations in piano hovering freely over it.
It concludes with just a simple phrase played by the clarinet,
as if heard from afar, like an elusive remembrance, like a disappearing cloud.
Is this the pace of Death or just a Beginning of an Infinite Journey?..

The masks are taken off, everything returns back to its Eternal Source.
No more suffering and anxiety, no more time…
