Lo Nuevo es la memoria radiante del pasado (2020)

Claudia Sofía Alvarez is a Peruvian composer and participant of the 5th International Young Composers Academy Ticino, whose music seeks to explore the power of sound in the human experience, investigating sound aspects such as timbre, texture, rhythm, and gesture in vocal, instrumental, and acousmatic contexts.

MANTRA. 2.0 is the second work of her series "M.A.N.-T.R.A". Through them, Claudia Sofia Alvarez Cuba intends to explore particular vibrations and resonant symbols that may lead to a state of mind or particular perception of the sound experience. Each of them has a slogan or mantra that stimulated its genesis; specifically, M.A.N.-T.R.A. 2.0 is built around the idea of: "Expanding our limits". In that sense, the piece transits through different states, starting from a static point, followed by progressive more energetic motions that drive into a free-floating and suspended state that finishes in a more resonant and expanded sound.

Flowers Endlessly Open (Trio Catch)

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. Her music is often influenced by natural phenomena and the visual arts. She works very closely with musicians, visual artists and dancers.
