Summary of This Score

With Art of Metal III, Yann Robin completes a major cycle dedicated to the metal contrabass clarinet, born from an intimate collaboration with Alain Billard. After a first piece confronting the instrument with a 17-player ensemble, and a second focused on real-time electronics, this third installment synthesizes the project's strengths by bringing together soloist, ensemble, and electronic setup.

The guiding idea throughout the cycle is a metaphorical approach to what metal can inspire: power, solidity, energy, and brilliance. The score highlights intense metallic sonorities while developing new colors through hybridizations and the integration of the voice inside the instrument, serving a physical and incisive sonic dramaturgy.

The technological dimension, fueled by tools developed at Ircam, amplifies Yann Robin's universe. Electronics and spatialization are not mere additions: they fully contribute to the perception of the sound material, placing the listener before an acoustic phenomenon of great presence. The work is dedicated to Susanna Mälkki, the Ensemble intercontemporain, and Alain Billard, with a special mention to Robin Meier for his support in programming the electronics.
