Science, sound and art converge in Gerard Grisey’s epic percussion masterwork Le Noir de l’Étoile.
Gerard Grisey has to be one of the most intriguing composers of the past century. With works that explore time, death and the transitory nature of art and sound, his music stands as some of the most strident in the contemporary repertoire.
Composed in 1990, this work is framed with the electromagnetic recordings of rotating neutron stars that are millions of light years from earth. The pulsing energy of the cosmos is converted into sound, and in a brilliant weaving of live performance and electronics, we hear a rich counterpoint that emerges in this hour length work.
Join the ANAM Percussionists as they embark on this unique musical journey through one of the great works in the percussion ensemble repertoire.
