How wonderful to be able to see the composer and this remarkable ensemble perform this riveting and mysterious work!

[@machida5114]

so good...

[@carlosbuchlein]

Any day this could be my favourite piece of him. Much of Gondwana is already here but the sonority of this piece is more otherwordly and the orchestral color is more iridiscent and metallic.

so many overtones in these streets

[@franckmousset4022]

Ondes Martinot ?

[@carlosbuchlein]

Yes, ondes Martenot.

[@michaelpeppe7659]

It's an instrument invented in the 1930's, providing eerie, otherworldly tones, akin to the theremin.
