Fibres has to do with spinning a thread. A horisontal line is stretched throughout the whole piece , spinned by the three instruments who takes over from each other to keep it lively in different ways. The 10-stringed guitar with its four extra bass-strings, cross sometimes the line in suddenly vertical falls. The flute and the viola have also burst-out gestures, but the line never breaks: Fibres is almost without pauses. The audible, fragile thread is further exposed by the fact that the musicians are placed out in a wide triangle, the guitar in its back point.
