Extra Information Lagrangian Point is a short, lyrical hymn to Earth, inspired by Samantha Harvey's novel Orbital, a dreamy work that follows six fictional astronauts, over 24 hours, aboard the low-orbiting International Space Station.Borrowing a similar narrative device, the composition features a fictional character observing the solar system and Earth from a Lagrangian Point — a stationary position in space. In a much shorter version, the piece shares some of Orbital’s more philosophical motives: our gratitude for lovely Earth, its smallness in the cosmos, the perhaps surprising flourishing of life on it, and the force of “want” — that is, desire — that seemingly drives life.
