There are a number of basic components in this programme, which was assembled by Frank Scheffer. Firstly, a clear historical line can be discerned, from Dadaism and surrealism through John Cage to Scheffer himself. Secondly, Scheffer emphasizes the absolute equality of the music and the images, a combination that leads to a whole that is sometimes greater than the sum of its parts. During the presentation, Uitti improvises and performs compositions, whereby the music does not necessarily support the film.
