In year 2000 Henri Pousseur was asked by Philippe Samyn, architect of Brussels who likes to work in association with other arts, to lend his support to the plan for the construction of a business complex by one of the most important building enterprises in the country.
Henri Pousseur imagined then a connection between the time of Nivelles (a city 40 km south of Brussels, where this large project will be situated) and the time of the entire planet and the more or less metaphoric sonic and musical realities attached to it.
The first mix (and not re-mix) was a re-interpretation by Henri Pousseur himself -- this laid the foundation stone of the edifice.

Four artists from different generations were invited to create their own half-hour mix of the work using digital means (whereas the original was an analog razor-to-tape affair).
Hinant is quick to stress that these are not remixes and he is right to do so: Pousseur 's studies are meant to be combinable for simultaneous playing, so the "mixers" are simply doing their own interpretation of the "score." Of course, it's not as simple as that.
He adds extraneous material from record players to create a lugubrious work (slowed-down voices and all) that steps far from Pousseur 's music, yet remains intelligible in the context of the project.

 Pousseur/Main/Jeck/Oval: 4 Parabolic Mixes: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Among the early pioneers was a Belgian named Henri Pousseur, who experimented with Karlheinz Stockhausen in a radio studio in Cologne.
In 1972, Pousseur released an eight-sided series of pieces on four vinyl records as 8 Études Paraboliques (in English, 8 Parabolic Studies).
The liner notes present him as awed by the presence of Pousseur (he apparently performed directly after at the event recorded for this set), and he does follow much of the master's textural lead.

 Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music
Pousseur, like many of his avant-garde contemporaries, experimented with open forms, scores in which certain performance parameters are left to the discretion of the performers.
But this recording is a good example of the fact that when a score is left open, a performance of the piece should not be: it still can have direction and focus and a feeling of completeness.
Without knowledge of Pousseur's musical schemes--his incorporation of more free-form sections--this movement would read as any piece of music, being full of direction and interesting contrasts as well as gorgeous harmonies.
