Item contains excerpts from texts by the Scottish painter Alan Davie (1920-2014) selected by Barry Guy for use in Parts 3A and 5 of the composition. The excerpts are taken from opuses D. 2 (June 1994); D.4 (June 1994); D. 15 (September 1994); D. 16 (June 1996); D. 24a (June 1996); D. 29 (May 1996); and D. 107 (1990). Davie's artwork is also one of the sources of inspiration for the graphic notation in Guy's composition.

Some specific pitches are given starting on page 6 and five-line staves are used on pages 10 to 13 and 16. Sections of notated music are interspersed with improvised moments, and the string and wind instruments use extended techniques like circular bowing and multiphonics.
