The event is over
A spectacular novel that crosses the fates of men and women who came to California to participate in the construction of a gigantic suspension bridge, Naissance d’un pont (lit.Birth of a Bridge) by Maylis de Kérangal is a reflection on the collateral effects of globalization.
"With the music for Naissance d'un pont, my intention was to bring together the characteristics of a fresco and a portrait: on the one hand the monumentality of the fresco, which traces large arches, between an overall narrative plan and a frozen installation; on the other hand, the richness of detail, a swarming of tiny events, like a Flemish portrait." (Daniel Ghisi)
The Musiques-Fictions collection merges a contemporary text, a musical creation, and the collective experience of immersive listening under an ambisonic dome. The musical creation is in perfect contact with the literary work. The language has all the intelligibility; the music has a space of its own. The Musiques-Fictions intend to renew the genre of radio fiction, the Hörspiel, the vigil, by going beyond the simple sound illustration of the story or the dialogue. Music-fictions where the image is not a screen.
