The metaphor of discovery, and of an unknown landscape, is reflected brilliantly by LeFanu in this work. It opens with deep, distant sounds which gradually accumulate and come to the fore. The composer's use of suspensions of movement and shifting musical energy give the music a nervous tension. The music is short, tense, and atonal, which give the feeling of musical mystery and discovery.
