“Since writing a bestselling book on her fascinating and complex extra-dimensional theory of the universe, Harvard physicist Lisa Randall has been busy re-imagining it as an appropriately cerebral art form—opera. After three years of development, Hypermusic Prologue premiered at Paris’ prestigious Centre Pompidou in June and, like Randall’s book … it manages to translate the impenetrable world of theoretical physics into something that not only appeals to scientists, but to anyone willing to look beyond the obvious for clues about the nature of reality.” — Seed magazine

Harvard physicist Lisa Randall, Spanish composer Hèctor Parra, and artist Matthew Ritchie collaborate on a new site-specific monodrama, which inverts and renovates the genre of opera with an experimental score suggesting the expanding reality of a fifth dimension. The CD was presented in conjunction with the exhibition Contemplating The Void: Interventions at the Guggenheim Museum, which was on view from February 12 through April 28, 2010.
