Program Notes

"Many physicists believe that the fundamental particles of the universe are vibrating strings, whose oscillations give rise to everything we know. In string theory, the universe is woven by hidden dimensions and harmonic patterns that go beyond the limits of our perception. Inspired by this concept, and taking up the challenge proposed by the OPGB, this piece transports string theory into a sound universe, where multiple resonances emerge from the dynamic interaction between instrumental groups and electronics, creating a musical and immersive cosmos."
