This piece was written in response to a set of photograms from Aleksandra Vajd’s The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations, which features two parallel lines, each changing colour halfway. To me this work is about things in flux, things moving toward or away from something else. In my piece, I am interested in how players might focus on periods of instability and change within and between sounds. By leaving the score more open, I hope to provide more space for the players to follow their curiosity and their ears, to be responsive to the sounds and to each other in the moment. - SL

"Sylvia’s piece is a rare occurrence: a simple, relatively undefined score that does not provide instructions for formal development over the entirety of the piece, yet immediately, the first time we rehearsed it, it was clear that the piece had a clear-cut character and a complex web of internal relationships. The simplicity and directness of Vajd’s photograms is here transformed into a focus on all the chaotic and noisy shadows, interferences, and byproducts that appear when players are tasked with exploring well-chosen, fluctuating effects and various transitions between them. Here, instability is always present at multiple levels — perhaps we could even speak of an interaction between instabilities, a dusty sonic layer covering the simple material play of the photograms." - Ian Mikyska

Summer night
transforms to daybreak.
I count fleas.

Disquiet Junto Project 0587: Sour Mash
The Assignment: Let something go out of tune

As Iˋm traveling at the moment all I had was an iPad. I thought about skipping the prompt but then I wanted to do it for the challenge of making it mobile. I used MiRack, a virtual modular system, to make a patch that goes out of tune regularly. To add some atmo, I added the MiRack recording to a granular sampler (Samplr) plus some noises plus me humming live out of tune with the seashore in the background. Hope you like it. Sorry for lo–fi, it's made with cheap earbuds and outside a studio in the hotels garden. Track name references to „Ring my bell“ from the end of the golden era of Disco, which popped up in my mind when I thought about a track name with bells …

In Dream World  (Naviarhaiku 488 )

In Leisurely Ways

Souffle court a été à l'époque ma première composition, elle date de 2017. 
Elle exprime ce que les mots ne disent pas, quand le souffle n'est pas suffisant
