Digital Booklet
|
This groundbreaking release is the culmination of 12 years of effort from composer Joseph Bertolozzi. All the music was created and played on the Eiffel Tower, without any other instruments or effects. He captured the tower’s sounds with microphones placed on its surfaces and wrote the work using only those natural sounds he recorded. Bertolozzi was granted permission to pursue the project by the tower's administration after demonstrating the care he took with his previous project Bridge Music, composed for and performed on New York’s Mid-Hudson Bridge, using techniques that would not damage structural integrity and providing safe conditions for the musicians.
"For over 100 years the Eiffel Tower has been hailed as an architectural landmark, an engineering feat, a monument, a destination. Now it will reveal its music."
- Joseph Bertolozzi
