Package definition [Soirée complète - Concerts insomniaques] - Opéra de Lille

For the soundtrack of the film A Clockwork Orange, Wendy Carlos transformed Henry Purcell’s Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary into a futuristic sonic vision using synthesizers. This passage from one universe to another serves as the acoustic compass for La Tempête in this Insomniac concert. Time and again, the music moves between eras and imaginaries separated by centuries. Within this space liberated from chronology, connections emerge between the works, and at times the musical thought of one age is revealed through the sonic means of another.

Long before daybreak, DJs Arandel and Camille Rhonat will explore, in the third chapter of this nocturnal journey, the musical thought of early music through synthetic sound worlds — much in the spirit of Wendy Carlos. Their concert pays tribute to this openly transgender composer, a pioneer of electronic music, and to her experiments with the Moog synthesizer.
