pulling the light	escape velocity	redshifted	proper time	singularity

An “event horizon” is a boundary in spacetime beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer…a “point of no return”… the point at which the gravitational pull becomes so great as to make escape impossible…a phenomenon usually associated with black holes. The concept of energy at the horizon or the edge of our immediate grasp of time has been a motivating interest in a number of my compositional projects in recent years. It continues to provide impetus to explore movement, speed, transformation and process in many aspects of my music. In Event Horizon, various components of the phenomenon provide conceptual points of departure for each of the sections of the piece. The audio signal processing of the violin, violoncello and piano extends the exploration of both sound and time to the spatial and spectral attributes of the listening experience.

Diptych - Irène’s Lament - Auguste’s Grief (2015) - Ashkan Behzadi

Premiered by Montreal’s Quatuor Bozzini on 14th Nov., 2015. Co-presented by Blue Moss Ensemble and the Music Gallery with the support of the Ontario Arts Council.

Program Note: Scientists have recently revealed that a species of moth in the Kirindy forest of Madagascar drinks tears from the eyes of birds. Birds can usually fly away from these predators, but not while sleeping. The Madagascan moths were observed on the necks of sleeping magpie robins and Newtonia birds, with the tip of their proboscises inserted under the bird’s eyelid, drinking avidly. Sleeping birds have two eyelids, both closed. So instead of the soft, straw-like mouthparts found on tear-drinking moths elsewhere, the Madagascan moth has a proboscis “shaped like an ancient harpoon,” with hooks and barbs. It is inserted under the eyelid where the barbs are used to anchor it in place. The team does not yet know whether the insect spits out an anaesthetic to dull the irritation. They also want to investigate whether, like their counterparts elsewhere, the Madagascan tear-drinkers are all males who get most of their nutrition from the tears. (Deborah MacKenzie)
