Recordings of some of my composed works are featured here. 

Works by Pia Palme

Sonja Leipold – playing on two harpsichords – and Pia Palme with electronics perform a new piece @UnsafeandSounds 2022, Zacherlfabrik Vienna, live recording. The piece is a composition by Pia Palme with improvised passages by Sonja Leipold. Leipold uses a set of analogue preparations. The harpsichords are amplified with microphones and contact microphones. The electronic tracks are generated with field-recordings from a Finnish forest at Saarinen. The recording further includes short passages of live harpsichord-processing.

Garth Knox performing GIB SIE WIEDER HER a warning commentary on resonance I 
for viola d'amore, contrabass recorder & electronics. Resonant strings transduced into a wooden box on stage.

GIB SIE WIEDER HER a warning / cut 1 (Pia Palme 2014)

This is the track transduced into the harp, from the piece GIB SIE WIEDER for harp and electronics composed by Pia Palme (2014). It contains vocals performed by Claudia Cervenka, and a harp score performed by Gabriela Mossyrsch, and feedback sounds & noises.

The piece centers around aspects of resonance.

There is a second score for the 'outside' harpist. The inside track is a piece in itself; transduced into the harp it will be 'equalized' by the resonance of the instrument. Text by Pia Palme.

Score for '​​To see the sun at midnight/ loving against time', a film by Arshad Hakim (2022)
______

This is the story of light, of its endless transformations and what they do. This is the story of an eclipse, or many eclipses – the change in/of light making us believe in the magnificent and the insignificant. 

Moving away from a heliocentric view of light, the film takes its cue from “The Stellar Rays of the Stars” by Al-Kindi and a re-reading of Iblis’s narrative by Husayn Ibn Mansur al-Hallaj— foregrounding the image and the phenomena of the eclipse. Framed within a dialogue, the film speculates the effects of light changing and marks them on the registers of the ethereal, the emotional and the theological.

MORDACIOUS LIPS, TO DUST

Composed of the air quality data that is being captured live, the algorithmic 
composition generates a set of textures and tones, dynamically released in our midst. The sonified levels of ambient pollution are heard while slowly revealing the invisible constituents that have invaded the concoction being inhaled. Much like the ringing of alarm bells, the score ceaselessly plays on, every moment a constant reminder of the crisis we are in the midst of.

More and a text about the piece at: www.piapalme.at

LIP OF THE REAL II

An archaic word, one that had its moment and is now long-forgotten, 'momently'  contains a layered and complex sense of time, in each of its three slightly different meanings-
1. from moment to moment; continually
2. at any moment
3. for a moment; briefly

Extracts from T.S Elliot's reading of his poem Burnt Norton have been woven into samples from The Books' Take Time along with recorded and found sounds from our always, already connected everyday. A meditation on time, of the stories and of one's own.

Momently
