This new b-records record brings together the unclassifiable Jocelyn Mienniel (composition) and Fiona Monbet (musical direction) around a resolutely hybrid reinterpretation of Gustav Mahler's Song of the Earth, created during a residency at the Royaumont Foundation. Driven by an original text by Olivier Cadiot, it blends chamber orchestra, jazz ensemble, traditional Chinese instruments, electronic music, children's choir, and voice in a writing style that borrows from improvisation and techniques inspired by literary cut-up. This transfiguration reveals The Song of the Earth as a resolutely modern work, whose humanism unfolds with renewed intensity.
