There's an interview online with Finn Zierler here about it:

You can compare the structure to reading a book, watching a movie or as a complex story with a lot of emotions being told in form of music. Some of the key pieces are repeated but composed and played modified in a different tune, tact or pattern. One of the pieces is even played backwards. One piece is written for rhythmic laughter - music consisting of rhythmic laughter on top of rhythms and music. For the Love of Art and the Making is one long composition of about 40 minutes with a lifeline from start to end but on top of all this it is dived into 43 sections. 46 actually; three of the sections are hidden. The sections are all pieces of a puzzle. It is written in a way so that the listener can put the CD player on shuffle if he/she wants to create a new lifeline or create a new puzzle and gather the pieces differently and 'maybe' discover new secrets and understanding of the work.
This should be INTERESTING, to say the least. I have a hard time getting into, well, even 20 minute compositions, but so far Zierler has written nothing but genius music. At the same time I'll miss being able to listen to "songs." I'm also wondering how 40 minutes can be divided into more than 40 meaningful sections.... Anyway, what do you guys think.
