Movement as a forming of sound. With the use of different types of folk tradition dance, the metric-rhythmic stereotypes of the processional forms are experimented which are then translated on the instrument. In this way an approach to written sources is filtered by the use of a gestural competence in search of the sound suitable to move and move used by tradition.
