Music

"Make waves for me," was what Éliane Radigue asked each of the musicians of Occam Océan I to do. This free-flowing work which relies upon a subtle mastery of each sound exerts deep fascination on behalf of its listeners. In counterpoint, François J. Bonnet’s piece Orbes reaches out to a celestial vault where, due to the force of gravity, the stars attract each other.
