In The Monk’s Prayer a labyrinth is at the heart of the concept. The flautist plays a melody; once plainly and then repeats it several times with increasing use of decorations. The sound is fed to a complex delay system. The multiple layers of quarter-tones build rich sound complexes that explore the borders between harmony and timbre.
