In this piece for solo conductor, Thierry De Mey pursues his research on movement at the heart of the musical “fact”…
The conductor turns towards the audience, takes the beat of his heart as his pulse and starts to play increasingly complex polyrhythms: …3 out of 5, 5 out of 8, … Approaching the golden proportion, he traces the contours of a silent, unspeakable music…
Silence must be is the anagram of the Ictus ensemble, with which the composer regularly collaborated.
