In 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope captured one of the most influential and humbling images in history – the Hubble Deep Field. The image covers a speck of the sky only about the width of a dime seen from 75 feet away. The exposure lasted 10 consecutive days, or approximately 150 orbits.
Though the field is a very small sample of the heavens, it is considered representative of the typical distribution of galaxies in space, because the universe, statistically, looks largely the same in all directions. Gazing into this small field, Hubble uncovered a bewildering assortment of at least 1,500 galaxies at various stages of evolution.
Deep Field was premiered with the Minnesota Orchestra & Minnesota Chorale on 8 May 2015 in Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis, conducted by Eric. The second performance & European premiere took place at the BBC Proms on 9 August at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Singers & BBC Chorus, once again conducted by Eric.
To create a sound worthy of the Deep Field images, Eric had the idea to take advantage of the speakers in the room – the phones of his fans. For a composition this ambitious in scope, Eric felt that he’d need to include everyone in the audience. So instead of reminding his audience to turn off their phone for the performance, he directs them to pump up the volume and play along.
