Exo - a music performance inspired by TRAPPIST-1 system for string orchestra in 7 movements

Benjamin Glorieux has created a new piece with the string orchestra Bryggen, Vincent Caers (electronics) and Klaas Verpoest (live video). TRAPPIST-1 is an ultra-cool red dwarf star in the constellation Aquarius. It has a mass of about 9% that of the Sun, a radius slightly larger than the planet Jupiter and a surface temperature of about 2,560 K (2,290 °C). It is about 39 light years (12 parsecs) from the Sun and is estimated to be about 7.6 billion years old, making it older than the Solar System. The star was discovered in the year 2000. In 2016 and 2017, observations with numerous space- and ground-based telescopes, including the Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST) telescope at La Silla Observatory, led to the discovery of initially three, then seven terrestrial planets around the star. Benjamin Glorieux is a cellist, conductor and composer. He studied in Brussels, Genève, Köln and the Chapelle Queen Elisabeth. The love for composers and compositions, the search for sounds and existing or unknown repertoire has been pivotal in his career, to a degree that has made old and contemporary classical music Benjamin's most inspiring incentive. For example, he plays Debussy on gut-strings, performs Brian Ferneyhough's Time and Motion Study with electronics of the 70's, gives regular concerts of the cycle of Bach cello Suites and is a musical partner of jazz-groups such as Rembrandt Frerichs Trio. As a pedagogue, he works regularly with MATRIX Leuven and was invited by Koninklijk Conservatorium Antwerpen as a cello-teacher for specialization in contemporary repertoire.
