Is there a perspective to understand our universe, in which time, space, ages are somehow less interesting parameters than a network of shared things across geography and history? Is there ever a chance for music to be not “mine” nor “yours”, but – in a very deep sense – “ours”? “Nostre” (from old French, and current italian: “ours”) is the attempt to put in place a dialogue between Machault’s “Messe de Nostre Dame” and a new piece, for 8 voices and electronics, whose episodes will be interleaved between the messe’s parts.
More information about the project here (in French).
