With Vendre le ciel aux ténèbres, a piece for 14 instruments composed as part of his residency at the Villa Medicis, Bastien David (winner of the 2025 Ernst von Siemens Composition Prize) explores the theme of the pollution of the sky by thousands of satellites. By questioning the growing occupation of airspace, this piece raises an essential question: what is left of our immaterial resources in the face of human exploitation?
Through an artistic approach imbued with critical reflection, the work highlights the challenges of sustainability and ethics in technological innovation.
This format provides keys for listening to the work, understanding the aesthetic, societal and political issues at stake, and questioning our relationship with objects.
