Winner of the 1st prize in Linköpings Studentsångare Composition Award 2020.

”This four-minutes piece for male voice choir in six parts opposes chords with the darkest and the brighter sound in different moments, as well as static and dynamic sections throughout the entire work, all of this due to the contraposition that the lyrics present: the text can be understood as an irony related to the current situation of reality observed from our usually comfortable lifes.” – Maria de Pilar Miralles Castillo
