 +Denis Bosse: //It's a concerto that resonates with the cosmological background, the gravitational waves that come from the depths of the cosmic ages, and which are oscillations in the curvature of space-time produced by the most violent phenomena in the cosmos: the explosion of a star, the collision between ultra-dense neutron stars or the fusion of black holes. At first, the signal made audible by these gravitational waves seemed to me like a sound that the strings could imitate while the soloist-spationaut was travelling on them. It turns out that these gravitational waves are of the same order as some of the waves and sounds produced by animals on Earth, including whales, birds and bats. They also refer to the sounds of 'scratching', a technique invented by DJs, which consists of playing a vinyl record with short, rhythmic back-and-forth movements. All these sounds from the gravitational waves to the DJs are called "chirps", for "chirping" in French. Thus, at the same time as the chirps of the gravitational waves, the soloist sounds the whole orchestra, a bit like the bat emits very wide chirps to detect its environment. A sound space is created that is connected to the cosmos, the Earth and non-humans! But the bat soloist is not only non-human, she is also a human DJ scratching the string orchestra, the brass and the vibraphone with grainy, rubbed and rolled sounds. This noisy space of human activity on earth competes with the other sounds of the world and the soloist cries out in despair to find humanity so lonely in the cosmos. "Chirps, scratches and tears" is the title of the concerto, a spatial rhapsody made of intuitive and free play between spaces, worlds, "multiverses" of all kinds.// ((See: https://www.arsmusica.be/événement/mars)).
