Lea Bertucci »The Days Pass Quickly Immersed in the Shadow of Eternity«

American composer and performer Lea Bertucci received the Giga Hertz Production Award in 2023. She is now presenting the results of her residency and funding in a world premiere concert of "The Days Pass Quickly Immersed in the Shadow of Eternity"(2024–25). The composition for multi-channel loudspeakers, electronics, and historical flutes – featuring renowned flutist and musicologist Norbert Rodenkirchen – combines past and present into an immersive sound experience. Crystalline and minimalist structures unfold into a haunting reflection on time and memory, evoking archaic and futuristic soundscapes and providing an impressive mirror of the state of the Anthropocene. “The result is a poignant reminder of the echoes of history, which questions the perception of time and explores the fragility of humanity,” said juror Gosia Plysa.
