Some insects just don't care. I left out my Sennheiser rig to capture elephants feeding at a mango grove and this moth decided my blimp was the best place to hang out and make low frequency humming sounds.

Congo Basin Rainforest - Bugs Close To The Mics

“ 'Moments intérieurs I - Parois | Crevasse' is inspired by the physical sensation carved inside a body -  a feeling of particular loneliness or nostalgia. Without necessarily musically impersonating an actual texture of an internal wall, I built this piece as a sort of painting covered of dominating gray lines, sometimes surrounded by white strokes. If gray tones often tend to be associated with a certain type of sadness, in this work, they rather guided me in the creation of thick lines inspired of the softness contained in nostalgia. As sounds evolve, the main motif develops itself like a filament becoming an overflow. It then quickly evaporates to create singular interior landscapes and crevasses. 'Moments intérieurs I - Parois | Crevasse' brings this disturbed tranquility that is common to all of us during those short moments of distress.”

Hypnos for bass flute or tenor recorder and tape 
Written in 2018 and revised in 2020
Recording from the premiere of version for bass flute: 28.01.2023, Grusomhetens Teater, Oslo, Norway.
Alessandra Rombolá – bass flute, Martyna Kosecka - electronics, Michal Sykora – mix

Hypnos is a dream; Hypnos is a passage through the mosaic of memories and flashes of the closed eye state. It disputes the concepts of time flow, sleepiness, and variable points of focus. The piece is written in the Dastgāh-e Māhur Persian scale and explores certain harmonic states and motivic groups that are the characteristic components of a dream, my Persian dream.

Excerpt from Rebecca Lane & Clara de Asís "Distances Bending", live at Oscillation festival, Brussels (BE), 29 April 2023.

A collaborative composition by Clara de Asís and Rebecca Lane deriving from a series of encounters and explorations throughout different times, spaces and forms.

Distances Bending is an ever-expand­ing pro­cess — a build­ing up, dis­tilling, and mir­ror­ing of mater­i­als par­tic­u­lar to each artist, respond­ing to and inhab­it­ing a space over mul­tiple hours or days. A repeated time struc­ture, a tem­por­al loop that is altered through upwardly evolving ration­ally-tuned fre­quen­cies, vari­ous flutes (whose size, timbre and shape cor­res­pond to these fre­quen­cies), elec­tron­ics, and chan­ging light, the piece cre­ates a subtle space where per­cep­tion is transformed.
