Notes: This piece was created for a dance performance by the choreographer Sommer Ulrickson. The main theme of the work is 'manipulation' and the responsibility of the artist and was partially inspired by the life of the Nazi filmmaker Lenni Riefenstahl. The compositions' two parts were prerecorded and use computer manipulated sampled sounds as well as acoustic Guitar and Piano recorded by the composer. A letter written by the Hungarian writer Peter Nadas of his thoughts about Lenni Riefenstahl is recited in German as part of the recorded music.

An article by Sheryl Oring was written in the 2002 spring issue of Arts International about the work and includes interviews with the creators.
