Site-specific sound piece is created in the context of "Soundselektion" seminar held by Asmus Tietchens and Heribert Freidl. The seminar focused on the Looshaus at Michaelerpltaz and the architect Adolf Loos'1908 essay "Ornament is a Crime"; its determined renunciation from Historicism and Secessionism are an early examples for radical reduction - no decor, no embellishments.
The piece contains two sound elements; the base layer is a filtered sound of heavy marble mining as an attribution to Loos's controversy choice of building material in order to reduce ornaments which he imported from Greece, and the second layer is a part of Arnold Schönberg's atonal piece String Quartet No.2 which was composed during the same period of the time in Vienna and share similarities how public and the empire reacted to both pieces in fury
