The Times - "The recycling concerto being played on upcycled rubbish"
It's a startling combination, but together the blend is seamless. There's drama in the music alternating with playfulness. (...) Mayrhofer and Vassileva have taken the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure" to heart. (The Times)

The topic of environmental destruction dominates this moment in time. In particular we must urgently decide what to do about our trash, waste and poisonous materials. The composer and conductor Gregor A. Mayrhofer saw this as an opportunity to address the issues in a musical way.
Various new percussion instruments were developed for the piece, all made from recycled materials. Nothing new is purchased - all percussion sounds are created only from discarded materials that would otherwise go to waste. -
