From these stories, a composition.
Inspired by the edition of . A miniature in G major for piano, strings and flute, now accompanied by a sampled human choir without words that you can switch off in the player. A short descending motif passes between the instruments, inspired by the twelve KREPE-3 capsules described by NASA for atmospheric reentry research. Longer phrases evoke Hoad’s Wood: the waste has been removed, but the woodland’s recovery still needs to be followed. In the third section, instrumental replies suggest the expanded Tedacà Bellarte spaces in Turin, at the heart of the 8–11 October opening programme. After a development in minor colours, the opening theme returns. These are editorial interpretations, not data sonifications or location recordings; they do not turn an experiment, a cleanup or a cultural programme into further outcomes already demonstrated.
