Restlicht is a version in this cycle that was not created in the usual seven-year cycle. It expands the score with a modified version of the viola part from Amnesisch Blau from 2001.

Restlicht (Residual Light) denotes the faint portion of light that persists after a source has extinguished. It is no longer active illumination, but a trace: an afterglow, a fading impression that eludes definite presence. As a transition between visibility and disappearance, residual light embodies the continued effect of the past—for memory, perception, and time, which do not end abruptly but gradually attenuate.
Restlicht also marks a zone beyond the sounding event. It does not signify sound in the narrow sense, but its ongoing efficacy within perception. In the temporal span between sounding and fading, a residual state persists, in which spectral relations, spatial projections, and memory overlap. Residual light depicts sound as a process of depletion, where presence becomes unstable—a transition, a threshold state.
