Flux can be performed by one and up to eight players. Possible instruments are flute, oboe, clarinet, percussion, harp, piano, violin and cello and possible combinations are 255. A list of all 255 possible combination can be found below. The accompanying soundtrack is derived from the recordings of most of these instruments. The title refers to how the material of the work seeps between the instruments and the playback material, the lack of exact synchronization and to the fluid state of the whole work, which will never be performed twice in the exact same way. 

Performers can decide in advance what kind of version they want to perform. Sparse, extreme, quiet, stretched etc. As the performance notes say: Play freely: insert ceasuras and fermatas if you like, be considerate to what others are playing, make dynamic adjustments if you like, omit material if you feel like it (especially if many are playing), simplify material if you like. In measures marked “improvisando” the written notes should be be varied constantly. Vary duration, color, density, dynamic and also involve material from previous or upcoming measures.
