Justina Repečkaitė’s composition La muë for serpent, children's choir and electronics will premiere on the 27th of April, 2024 at salle Espro, Ircam. Co-commissioned by IRCAM - Centre Pompidou and the Center of Baroque Music Versailles - CMBV, La muë uses the text of Samuel Auguste Tissot - Essai sur la muë de la voix (1754) - an essay on children’s voice change. In July, Justina started working at IRCAM with the computer music designer (RIM - réalisateur en informatique musicale) João Svidzinski. They recorded Patrick Wibart playing the serpent, a low-pitched early brass instrument, showing not only a traditional use of the instrument but also a technique of simultaneous singing and playing the instrument.
