Méditation sur la fin de l'espèce
for violoncello solo, six instruments and prerecorded whale sounds
Product Details
Description
The rich sonorities of the songs of marine mammals, and what biologists consider to be their creative output, questions the role of human beings in nature since its destruction puts the survival of mankind itself in jeopardy. That question is the central theme of this work, which features a solo cello in dialogue with a number of different whales recorded by the biologist-acoustician Olivier Adam. At the same time, it is an attempt to alter our views on the perceived differences between nature and culture in adherence to the work of the anthropologist Philippe Descola. Thierry Pécou
