I am not sure if I can fully agree with the statement that this “may well be the most significant composition to emerge from contemporary music” (see quote below), but this album is certainly a curiosity. We hear industrial music in the truest sense of the word.
I have the dvd as well; perhaps I will post that too.
Experimentum Mundi may well be the most significant composition to emerge from contemporary music during the last few decades. All forms of creativity had constantly made attempts to break down barriers between art and life but with no success until the arrival of the hour-long Experimentum Mundi. Now music has finally done what no other creative discipline ever managed - at a stroke Giorgio Battistelli has taken everything to which the art of his time aspired and turned those dreams into reality. Sixteen ordinary, everyday tools which have been used through the ages all over the world are lined up on the concert hall stage as the audience make their way into the auditorium and take their seats. When the half is full, sixteen workmen in overalls and aprons come on stage and get down to work, accompanied by an actor in an evening suit. Standing to one side, the actor then begins reading aloud in French an extract from the famous Encyclopaedia by seventeenth century Enlightenment writers from Switzerland and France describing in turn the tools and the work being done on stage. Experimentum Mundi actually starts with the faint sound of an eggshell being cracked open, then come the various noises made by the cobbler, the grinder, the carpenter, the smith and so on blending into a symphony of sound with crescendos, accelerandos, fortissimos, pianissimos which demand the complete and utter attention of both eye and ear and prove wholly compelling.
Performed by real workmen - and it could not be otherwise - Experimentum Mundi is now over twenty years old and has been experienced by audiences in concert settings all over the world. That it is one of the great works of our or any time is born out by the unqualified, unparalleled success which it has so deservingly enjoyed.
