GÉRARD GRISEYS SPEKTAKULÆRE LE NOIR DE L’ETOILE
Oslo Contemporary Music Festival Sentralen, Postboks 183 Sentrum, 0102 Oslo, Norway Norway http://ultima.no At this year’s Ultima the PERCUSSION TRIO PINQUINS and the SISU PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE will perform Gérard Grisey’s spectacular Le Noir de l’Etoile. The concert offers a rare opportunity to experience this magnificent work, which has never before been performed in Norway. Grisey derived the inspiration for this work in his fascination for the stars and outer space. The work, in which six percussionists are positioned in different places among the audience, is based on radio signals generated by rotating neutron stars called pulsars.
GÉRARD GRISEY studied with names like Olivier Messiaen, Henri Dutilleux and Karlheinz Stockhausen, and was one of the leading composers of spectral music, a compositional technique developed in the 1970s that uses computers to analyse the quality of timbre in music.
