“In Our Time”

Status: In progress – Chapter 1 premiere January 2020.
Description: Inspired by the iconic Doomsday Clock, “In Our Time” is a potentially endless piece of music initiated by global events such as international security, climate change and the threat from nuclear weapons.
Every time the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists sets the Doomsday Clock, a new musical “chapter” will be added to this ongoing creative process. Over time different composers from every part of the world will contribute to “In Our Time”, each one taking over where the previous one ended, so that ultimately we’ll have one long, uninterrupted piece of music that goes on forever.
Chapter 1 will take its starting point at the birth-place of the atomic bomb: New Mexico, USA.
