« Le Noir de l’Etoile » by Gérard Grisey was created on March 16th, 1991 at the Ars Musica Festival in Bruxelles. Six percussionists are placed around the audience. The original creation required the presence of sand on the ground — the day of the world premiere and the day of the French premiere in Strasbourg will be the only times that this happened. The logistics of putting sand on stage were way too heavy for it to be done over and over. © Archives Percussions de Strasbourg
