Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:48:00 +0000

Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes:

Poème symphonique was composed by György Ligeti in 1962.

Since its world premiere in the Netherlands in 1963, Poème symphonique for 100 metronomes has been very rarely performed in public. The complicated scenographic staging, the detailed preparation by hand, the need for around ten technicians to activate more or less simultaneously the 100 metronomes, makes the demand for performances limited. Thirty-two years after the premiere, the sculptor and installation artist Gilles Lacombe heard a recording of the work. Impressed, he decided to invent a machine able to perform the piece automatically. After six months, he set up this ingenious device. Ever since, Poème symphonique can be performed accurately, at any time, and in public. Please understand that at its world premiere in 1963, the concert was filmed by Dutch television. On that night, after the final tick-tock of the metronome, there was a heavy silence, followed by booing, screaming, and threats. The concert was never broadcast.

With jinashi it is necessary for the maker to describe to what extent they have changed the natural bamboo bore through additions and or subtractions. The hocchiku or hotchiku are modern 20th century jinashi shakuhachi that are longer and or wider than Edo period jinashi, the shakuhachi of the Komuso monks.

La Méditation Sans Objet

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 13:06:40 +0000

En équilibre parfait, immobile, le poids du corps sur les genoux, la colonne vertébrale étirée vers le ciel, ni penché en avant, ni penché en arrière. On se contente d’effacer à chaque instant toute tension inutile, toute intention. Dans la posture paisible de l’éveil, à partir du silence et de l’immobilité, naturellement, inconsciemment, on donne la liberté à toute chose.
