How Far Away The Stars Seem - #3406 By Chair House 230412

Contemporary Guitar 2

New Music Unlisted - 7 (Kitaptan Sonra)

My choral work "Meditation", grown from "Meditation for Cross-Strung Harp", now has its text sung as well: a couple of members inspired me to redo it using Emvoice voices, and SynthV voices were added, giving it more feeling. Headphones recommended

Look to this day, for it is life, the very life of life
In its brief course lie all all your verities and realities
Bliss of growth, glory of action, splendor of beauty
For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow only a vision
But, well-lived, today makes every yesterday a dream of happiness 
and every tomorrow, a vision of hope
Look well, therefore, to this day

Meditation on "Look To This Day"

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

Streams Of Conscience

"A while back I found a Casio keyboard on the sidewalk. I took it home and pulled it apart. After discarding the keys and exposing the IC and circuit boards, I began to soldier connections between the IC and various copper nodes on the Keyboard. In some places, I installed switches and pots between the wires. Some of the wires I allowed to float above the board so that I could use alligator clips, or my fingers, to make temporary connections. This tape documents the sounds the new instrument produced. The album cover is a photo of the instrument as it looked during the recording process" - JJR 2023

Sylvia Lim is a composer based in the UK. Her works are intimate, exploring a small amount of material in depth. She is interested in the materiality of sound, notions of close listening, perception, rawness and instability.
