Remarks, other info
"The piece is a postcard from Western Canada. The term “tum liimus” means in Hul’q’umi’num (Coastal Salish) indigenous language ´the time when the Canadian gees are flying north in V formation.´ The composition uses extended techniques with discernable visual result to create a musically defined visual aspect." (Csaba Ajtony)
