Ant-Inferno (2015)

Commissioned by Ensemble Orchestral Contemporain

Premiered on 15 December 2015 by the Ensemble Orchestral Contemporain under the direction of its conductor, Daniel Kawka, Stéphane Magnin’s work is not a literal description of hell as imagined by Dante. But its form nonetheless takes up the same idea of circularity and peregrination, integrating into its discourse the sounds, rustling and noises associated with the vestibule of Hell, the 'Ant-Inferno'.
