I was commissioned to write this piece for a world Premiere in Berlin for the Anton Webern Ensemble. The name Not A Newer NB is an anagram of Anton Webern. I used many ideas which I had about Webern to compose the pieces including short durations, simultaneous multiple time signatures, etc. The name Vindauga, recommended by a friend, comes from an old Norse word meaning 'window' literally 'Wind eye'
