 A commission by the wood carver Gerhard Maier for his exhibition of 1000 handmade wooden combs plus a heap of resulting shavings, or, as he would see it: a heap of handmade wood shavings plus 1000 combs resulting on this occasion.
The primary task for the music was to refer to Gerhard Maier's living and working situation in his atelier in a former railway-station for horse-drawn carriages, which nowadays is a museum aside a highly frequented cross-country road connecting Linz with Prague.
The composition makes use of the advanced methods around the so-called Fourier Transformation. It begins with a parody on the morning-traffic on a cross-country road and ends up with the screaming of two million frequencies evoked by a few roaring glissandi.
