Lucilin in Concert - Sounding Stones
Stones hold many secrets and stories: primordial energy, silence and time, shapes and rituals. The Sounding Stones program, specially designed by the musicians of United Instruments of Lucilin for the exhibition On the Rocks, offers a musical exploration of these mysterious and timeless aspects of stones. The presented works regard stone not only as a construction material but also as an artistic inspiration source.
For Canto Llano, Eduardo Marturet was inspired by the vast landscapes of the Latin American highlands and the musical traditions of the Andes. The piece features repetitive motifs and modern harmonies creating a meditative atmosphere. On the other side of the world, John Cage found inspiration in the stone zen garden of the Ryoanji temple in Kyoto to compose Ryoanji. A reflection on silence and chance, this piece leaves room for the interpretation of percussion instruments and the flute.
Closer to the material, Camille Kerger integrates a stone instrument into his composition, echoing ancient rituals and their connection to natural elements. Lastly, Dante Boon, a member of the Wandelweiser collective, will present a new meditative work composed for this concert, incorporating a stone harp displayed during the exhibition.
