This extended one-movement work explores many colours and textures, offering musical and technical challenges for the adventurous duo. Composed and premiered at Bass-Fest 2004 by David Heyes and Teppo Hauta-aho, the musical material is based on David Walter's name and the contrast of arco and pizzicato styles produce inventive, atmospheric and innovative soundworlds. It is a work of breadth and vision, reflecting the life and career of this leading American bassist and teacher.

Anyone who enjoys Teppo Hauta-aho's soundworld will enjoy the challenges and rewards this piece offers.
