The album starts with "Wings": a trip into the sky, which also was a challenge to write for solo guitar with various difficulty levels. It continues with a piece in two movements about a meeting with "The Grim Reaper". And then, there is a piece centered around the four "Elements" that can be seen around the planet: fire, water, wind and earth. Both pieces were written for guitar duo. Finally, there are two little dances for guitar trio: a valse called "Dancing Upside-Down", and another more festive dance titled "Distance". The album ends with "The Gray Forest": a guitar quartet with four movements about a forest in which is not safe to stay.
