Theme: Einstein’s general relativity. The performance reflects the theory of relativity. By connecting space and time, it offered a new vision of the universe at the largest scales.

Concept: During the performance, the audience experiences a relative realm made by sound waves and spaces. These are perceived by the audience when moving from one musician to another. To embody the theory, each musician plays the score in their original tune. Their sound is processed by a computer to match the tune of the 4 other musicians, then dispatched and played through a speaker assigned to each musician.

The audience explored the site on foot, moving between versions of the music and selecting which artists to listen to at their own pace. The autonomy of this journey and the opportunity to hear the various musicians transition while traveling in the site created a personal moment and allowed each person to have their perspective of relativity.

In the forest, an installation of 10 metronomes, all set with different rhythms and connected to the musicians were displayed. In the center of this installation a speaker that symbolized a black hole broadcasted the main computer’s accumulation of all the raw sounds produced by the musicians. The tempo of the metronomes decreased when we move toward the speaker (Black Hole)
