”You hear that? That whistling sound?”

In May 1969, as Apollo 10’s command module circled the far side of the moon, beyond all communication with Earth, its crew heard something unexpected over the radio - a mysterious whistling music.

"I wouldn't believe anybody is out there..."

This piece for prepared cello, video and electronics invites the audience on a journey to the moon and into invisible radiowaves. Who is on the other side?

Commissioned and premiered by Elias Schomers in 2024.

Instrumentation: prepared amplified cello, video & tape
