One Small Step For Man...
On July 20, 1969, 500 million viewers watched agog as the now legendary Apollo 11’s mission’s lunar module landed on the moon, inspired by Neil Armstrong's "giant leap for mankind". 50 years later, we celebrate with music this unique episode in the conquest of space , a source of inspiration and fantasy for generations of composers and directors alike. Symphony orchestras, electronic experimentations and sound design evoke both the extraordinary acceleration of machines thrusting through the interstellar vacuum, and the loneliness of Man in the face of cosmic immensity... An epic and triumphant journey into the unknown, a zero gravity adventure, grandiose and exhilarating.
