So that was the yes which premiered here in berlin in 2017 composed by Rebecca Saunders who has joined me in the studio welcome and thanks so much for being here with us. Now you talk about music having these physical and sensual presence. Sound is almost actually immaterial in your work how did you develop what i would call a sculptural approach to music its hard to say in a way but. With specialized. Specialized projects so. I find it really fascinating to actually create an environment where the audience is inside the sound so often i missed a little wave or do read too much of normal stage works or chamber where for solo pieces but it is fascinating to have the audience within the sound itself so i would have several pieces surrounding the audience and so you very part of the physical listening and performance so that piece that we just heard yes was inspired by the famous final chapter of James Joyces Ulysses the monologue of molly bloom this very life affirming monologue tell us whats going on there in also in terms of this this spatial concept one of out here written 28 separate pieces of color according to a timeline so youve got 20 different positions in space and youve got musicians moving from one position to to another so youre really working with density and the sound is really moving diagonals within the architectural situation so its coming from behind me from the side from above for example so you really are within the sounds the sound is moving through you and beyond you and i think its very fascinating to be compelling this new situation i think when you can really follow how the sound is moving according to the architectural characteristics and amazingly despite this collage effect you give individual sounds their own space and even things like the intake of air or breath are are actually part of the score yes thats right well particularly in us because we do have a soprano but also several members of the ensemble on the conductor they also recite will speak will sing so im sort of all different kinds of facets of money blues personality would have been sort of shot off in Different Directions but but yes i sense the essence because that is the voice and there is the text which in a way is a thread that goes through the whole piece that every breath every in break in breath or every every every word every every every sound that the singer makes is of course meticulously notated so interesting now lets listen to another short sequence so that we can kind of experience a very different sonic landscape this is a. Excerpts verse one from byte from. The. Right who will. Have the. Room or the book. Thats a competition for solo bass flute as we saw opera beautifully performed by Helen Bledsoe who i think did the premiere in 2016 in your music is of red but i think as one sees very demanding for the performers how is it you talked about the things being exactly notated how is that that you get exactly what you want if you use this you know its so fascinating to work over many many years together with certain musicians with the flute with Michael Black on the on the trumpet or different musicians for different instruments new build up a long term working relationship really exploring experimenting with the instrument you soloists are extraordinary virtuosity virtuous he kept performance and they have an extraordinary relationship with their instruments even think about it this almost like one of the most intimate relationships of their lives you know and i think its fascinating to study its to be inspired by it and to work with them one sounds might really find that in the performance situation when youre pushing musician really to the edge and theres an Extraordinary Energy that comes over in the performance situation and im i like the emotion obviously of the situation and they feel theyre going beyond boundaries sometimes and sometimes you discover things that may not necessarily be being want but thats nice you know always to be just that just on the edge of something contributes to the tingle that you get now youre just quickly youre a recent winner of the and frenzy and then surprise thats considered the nobel prize for music and that means that you join the ranks of big names like Benjamin Britten pierre blaze daniel how did that make you feel it was rather overwhelming of course it was a big surprise indeed because im relatively young but of course it was a great honor and. But when it comes to working band i just just get on with it try to blend that out and not sort of be distracted by public attention with things like nevertheless congratulations on not just going to distinction i know youre currently working on 3 different projects so we will look forward to hearing more from you in the future thank you so my. For coming in and joining me here welcome back a stoner thank you.

The initial plan was to tear the tower down after 2 decades. Protect. Explains why its Still Standing today. If i for at some point got the idea that the. The tower could be used as a place for a radio antenna the french army was really interested and began experimenting and transmitting they made the tower strategically important thats why they kept it all of course so. Impressive views can be had from all over the town especially from the 2nd and 3rd platforms you can see many prissie insights from here. Including the louvre and the dome of les in valley.
