Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg wrote "Metal Work" - a virtuoso duet at this time - in 1984 in Berlin. This work comprises a total of 52 percussion instruments which blend with the accordion’s complex chords and rapid lines. "Metal Work" is a reference work for the accordion and percussion repertoire, yet remains difficult to schedule as it requires a heavy logistical workload.
From Finnish word for "alloy", Metalliseos is a project entirely based on this latter work. Furthermore, the musical ensemble Too hot to hoot? ordered three new pieces to young swiss and american composers, asking to use solely percussion instruments from the original set to simplify organisation. Each in a very different register, these pieces of music mirror Magnus Lindberg’s works in their own way.
