Written for and performed by the Miyabi Duo (Hugh Millington and Saki Kato) at Wigmore Hall on 4 June 2021. Commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society as part of its 2020/21 RPS Composers Programme.

A work in two movements:
1. bend
2. lullaby for the end/ beginning

in memory of Uncle Charlie

same but different (2021)

I was trained in tradition, yet I stepped beyond its walls. Sound is my language, not to decorate but to liberate. Composer, performer, and listener — one fire, three sparks, inseparable.

I write and compose to uncover what is hidden: the truth buried beneath power, the dignity of the ordinary, the current of awareness that flows through all.

I belong to no authority, only to sound, to truth, to the silence from which all begins. My work is not mastery, but remembrance — a manifesto in every note, every word, every breath.

I am a composer of the 21st century: a studio artist. The studio is my forge, my battlefield, my sanctuary. Machines hum like choirs, circuits burn like torches, cables twist like roots in the earth. Tradition breaks open in this fire — the score turns to light, the instrument becomes the world itself.

To be a studio artist is to seize sound at its rawest, to sculpt electricity and breath as one, to summon the invisible power that belongs to all. Here music is not bound by walls, not enslaved by profit, not tamed by form. It is free, untouchable, unending — a living flame for the century that is ours.

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.

Since I bought a second-hand synth in 1991 didn't stop connecting my thoughts and emotions with audio frequencies:
[Original] EXISTENCE is my solo project.

In the mid '90s I collaborated with italians "Cupio Dissolvi", particularly in the albums "Benomyl" and "La Cruna dell'Ego"(keyboards, guitar, sound recording; though with limited equipment).

Formed an experimental rock duo with italian artist STONEMOON, "WEIRD PAKT"(also available into his socials).
