The Poème symphonique for 100 metronomes of Ligeti is a very special work in the composer’s catalogue, it is surely his most radical approach to what later became known as “sound art”. At that time, Ligeti became interested in the artistic movement Fluxus, which united visual arts, sound, performance, installation, happening, etc. The Poème symphonique not to be understood as a musical composition in the canonical sense, but as a sound installation that makes us reflect on temporality, the visual and sound object, mechanics and what are the limits between music and non-musical sound. The listener and the viewer, in an indistinguishable whole, will be able to enjoy a unique experience.

With the participation of the Master Studies in Sound Art at the UB under guidance of Martí Ruiz.
