Rave party, mass of the senses, limits of perception, trance, initiation rite, capture, immersion, assassination. Fiona Monbet and the Miroirs \u00c9tendus<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0ensemble invite you to rediscover Fausto Romitelli’s unclassifiable, hallucinatory work, An Index of Metals, in a new record from b\u2022records<\/a> at La Soufflerie de R\u00e9z\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

An incandescent performance by singer Linda Ol\u00e1h sheds light on the thousand reflections of this unique sound experience, a \u2018mass for the senses\u2019 that Romitelli imagined as the revival of the operatic genre at the turn of the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premiered at the Nouveau Si\u00e8cle in Lille in 2019, it toured in 2019-2020 at the Op\u00e9ra de Rouen and at the Kantine am Berghain in a stage version, and will be revived for the 2023-2024 season at the Milano Musica<\/a> (Milan, IT) and Nei Suoni Dei Luoghi (Gorizia, IT) festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rave party, mass of the senses, limits of perception, trance, initiation rite, capture, immersion, assassination. That’s the programme for Fausto Romitelli’s An Index of Metals. We tell you all about it and, above all, we listen!<\/p>Interview france musique – disque contemporain de la semaine<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An Index of Metals is undoubtedly one of the greatest works of the 21st century. With this work, Fausto Romitelli promised to cross a threshold. This is evidenced by an initial note of intent bursting with extreme words: rave party, mass of the senses, limits of perception, trance, initiation rite, capture, immersion, assassination. Through filtered sound and saturated images, in slow, leaden tempos, heavy with fatigue, where every sound slowly slides towards distortion and wear, Fausto Romitelli takes us to the very edge of contemporary music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A work of limits, written under the influence of psychedelic rock and electronic music, under the influence of Pink Floyd and Pan Sonic, An Index of Metals offers an impressive and vertiginous plunge, an immense visual and sonic plunge into the musicality of our time. It’s an ode, as well as a requiem, to all sensible and palpable reality, to matter itself, which we see gleaming and shimmering on the three giant screens, dancing absurd ballets of molecules, and finally plummeting into the final vertigo of a waste recycler. Composed by Fausto Romitelli in fifty days, working fifteen hours a day, during the last years of his life, An Index of Metals marks a break with \u2018pure\u2019 music and the invention of a new sublime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
