The main theme is exposed at the beginning of the piece in serial form 11.03.2012, the date of this catastrophe. The theme is formed by long sounds that emerge from the silence and expand to neighbouring notes, towards fortissimo sounds, or simply do not evolve. It is a mysterious, sometimes strident environment.

Little by little, the discourse moves between enigmatic sentences, and a very static section that preludes a broad development, very fast, nervous, sometimes violent and very agitated. At one point the great Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu is quoted. After all this tremendous disorder (the tsunami and explosion of the nuclear power plant), the discourse calms down and the music quietens into silence.
