Description
Asteroid 4179: Toutatis is a small work written for the project that Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra created around The Planets of Holst. It is based on Toutatis, the asteroid whose orbit passes closest to Earth, and its unusual shape and complex rotation which have a fascinating effect on the concept and experience of time.
