The mono-timbral character of this composition, its initially regular - and later increasingly variable rhythmic movement, and all the other features, are defined by a uniform algorithm which operates both on micro- and macro-structural levels. The software-generated sound is coincidentally rather reminiscent of sutartinės (ancient Lithuanian tradition of polyphonic singing), with the author neither consciously striving for, nor avoiding the said result). Thus the Su in the title would refer to sutartinės, and the 60 - to the repeating numerical values of the algorithm.
