haiku #512: Endless echo / footsteps on an empty house / once full of life

Part of a project called 'Five Uncertain Situations' with Prague City Gallery. Exhibition and concert at Dům U kamenného zvonu (Stone Bell House), Old Town Square, Prague in December 2022.

Bass clarinet - Anna Paulová
Baritone electric guitar - Ian Mikyska
Violin - Milan Jakeš
Double bass - Luan Goncalves

Mixed by Juraj Mišejka

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

Overlapping Transformations (2022)

Aria Triste

"I think someone is trying to drive you crazy before finally killing you."

A tribute to an early work by the master of Giallo, Dario Argento. Long on style, short on logic, the movie is a twisted tale of murder. The original score by Morricone naturally sets a very high bar, and I am confident I might, with luck, one day manage to limbo under it. In the meantime: my own poor alternative take… Made & mixed live in AUM on IPad, using Hilda, Sopranotron, Speldosa, et al. Sequencing by midiDreams. No keyboards harmed during making of the piece.

Marco Lucchi - Once full of life [Naviar Haiku # 512] w/Night Note

I was moved when I read this weeks Haiku from Naviars own Marco Sebastiano Alessi.
There was an idea in my head almost straight away, a repeating piano set to a echo delay effect that could potentially never end. Anf then the feeling of an empty house, an old distorted 78rpm record playing as if from a distance (of time?) and the feeling of a place of memory but now all gone.
