This piece is part of a cycle of pieces denominated Fluxus. In dimensional analysis, a dimensionless quantity is a quantity without an associated physical dimension. For this piece, musical processes were created in order to obtain layers with different physical (sound) qualities, where the dimensions of the sounds of the voice and flute are combined, resulting different qualities of perception. The rhythm is characterised by transformations of cells which are often complemented by secondary simultaneous rhythmic transformations on the voice, whose melodic and harmonic content is derived from processes analog to the referred transformations. Each subsection of the piece comprises a cycle of transformations, often expanded or compressed, where a dominant sound characteristic and type of transformation is to be perceived.
