As a child, Zegers was fascinated by the rhythmic phases of church-bells, which never ring in time.
When he began to compose, he noticed that even pieces of music with minimal rhythmical differences are sometimes subject to these phases.
It is this 'weakness' (which often appears just by playing) that is the strongest element of Pianophasing, making rhythmical variations possible despite the piece being fully composed and notated.
Pianophasing II has been played in the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in England.
In March 2010 Pianophasing was shortlisted for the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Awards.
