Fever | Opening Credits

Nowhere and No-When was written for the Merced Symphony and Ralph van Raat. This recording is a live performance of the premiere of the piece. 

The piece was inspired by Fermi’s Paradox, which is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence and high probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations in the universe. 
The piece begins with a NASA recording from one of the Kepler stars, which has been converted from light curve waves to audible sound. The soloist then takes over the signal-like rhythm and approximate notes made by the recording, followed by the timpani taking over to create a more layered sound. From there, the music expands into its own sound world, in which the piano is the researcher/investigator. Just like the well-known Voyager spacecraft, in this piece there are some hidden messages hidden within the notes. There are actual verbal messages which are encrypted in this music, and with some research they are discernable.

Nowhere And No-When

Er zijn de afgelopen periode verschillende vrouwelijke hoogleraren benoemd aan de faculteit Religie en Theologie van de VU Amsterdam. In deze podcast spreekt alumna Lenneke Post met 3 van hen: Sharda Nandram, Hans Alma en Miranda Klaver. Hoe zijn zij gekomen waar ze nu zijn? Wat is hun kijk op de wetenschap en wat willen ze doorgeven?
Intromuziek is gecomponeerd en ingespeeld door Heather Pinkham.
