When the heat has become very intensive and invisible, it seems to turn black. This composition is an attempt to turn the apparent contrast heat/blackness into music because Alkema is fond of fire and flames. While walking in the forest he evaluates how combustible the trees are and imagines the wooden houses going up in flames. The wind players can very well suggest fire and flames. By means of this composition Alkema sets fire to the powder and hopes the fire will set everything in a blaze. Finally, he only wanted to write a fine concert piece.
