Concert
TAK Ensemble: Star Maker / Love Songs - Ana Sokolovic by Kristin Hoff — Semaine du Neuf
Past event
New York ensemble TAK, a leading figure in American experimental music, presents Star Maker Fragments, a work inspired by a science-fiction novel.
This mixed electroacoustic work, with its imaginative score by Taylor Brook, features extracts from Olaf Stapledon's groundbreaking 1937 novel Star Maker. The novel invites the reader to follow a human narrator, projected on a cosmic out-of-body journey, as he explores the outer reaches of space and time. Brook musically transposes Stapledon's imaginary societies, deploying a sonic language of extended, transcendental microtonal lines.
Opening the evening, Kristin Hoff performs Love Songs by Ana Sokolovic.
This intimate opera about love explores, in 100 different languages, the various expressions of love: from passionate love to lost love, and familial love.
