Par PEPIN CAMILLE. Lorsque l'on m'a demandé d'écrire une ouverture pour la série 'Roulement de timbales', j'ai immédiatement eu à l'esprit quelque chose de vaste et puissant. J'ai alors pensé à la récente découverte de Laniakea, ce superamas de galaxies comptant parmi les plus grandes structures de l'Univers. Découvert en 2014 par Hélène Courtois (1), Laniakea signifie 'paradis céleste incommensur…

He was the student and later son-in-law of Johann Sebastian Bach.
