This Suite is inspired from five distinctive musical and cultural flavours and styles that mark a certain direction on the compass. Therefore, East Point gathers ideas from Middle East in contrast with West Point that enhances a more poethical approach – the feeling of melancholia brought by the sun setting. North Point is obviously presenting a frozen place with a sort of cool and relaxed vibe, South Point gets as solar and energetic as the Mediterranean, while Counterpoint depicts an urban, minimal and neutral musical land – inspired by „New York Counterpoint” by Steve Reich.
