Intre is composed in rush of feeling after becoming a mother. The first movement "In(side) - What if there was no light" is a slowly and heavily pulsating space which contains sudden clusters of attack and its resonances. The second movement "Interruptions" consists of fast fragments in which timbres and dynamics are in frequent motion. The third movement is static fairy-like music, which occationally heads into musicbox-like texture. The movements are connected attacca.
