Hecker developed a model to create a polyphony in space. The spatio-sonic structure of the piece re-refl ects the waveparticle nature of the works surrounding it. Like clouds in the sky, sonic particles will accumulate and dissolve constantly to create a composition within the space, with the space. Just as the blinking chandeliers transmit code into space, the loudspeaker system emits acoustic information in varying time-scales; micro- meso- and macro-structures of audible chapters. Oscillating between the constant light of the neon works and the discrete sequences of the chandeliers, the sound piece is an almost holographic link between these diff erent time-scales in light.
