The recording took place 2021 at Malmö Live, main hall, and the piece was performed by the excellent string principals of Malmö Symphony Orchestra: Marika Fältskog, concert master/violin 1, Linnéa Andersson Meilink/violin 2, Susanja Nielsen/viola and Samuli Örnströmer/cello. The piece was written in 1980 and has been frequently performed since then. An international highlight performance took place during the Venice Biennale 2010 at Sale Apollinee, Venice Opera House with the La Fenice String Quartet on stage.
