Santa BUŠS : 'Mēness upes gaismas tuksnešu pusvārdos' 
for 4 musicians - for saxophone (alto), kokle (concert and bass), percussion (books, typewriter, pencils, cymbals, paper, etc.) and Moon Modular 5U Synthesizer
(2025) 
Trio Tresensus (Aigars Raumanis, Līga Griķe, Uģis Upenieks) and Reinis Rabenau
(live recording : 07.05.2025. : Riga Latvian Society House, Latvia)

This piece is inspired by the poetry of Veronika Strēlerte, drawing its title from a fusion of her six poetry  collections - Simple Words, Raindrop, Moon River, Deserts of Light, Years of Grace, and In Half-Words. Each collection carries its own imagery and tone, yet together they form an emotional and thematic continuum. The music mirrors this by unfolding in six episodes, each reflecting the essence of one collection, while gradually flowing into one another - like layers of meaning revealed over time. 
The musical language is shaped by the poetic qualities I find most striking in Strēlerte: intense imagery, delicate intimacy, and a lyrical abstraction that balances clarity with mystery. Instrumental parts - including books and writing tools as sound sources - reflect on writing itself as both action and necessity in her life.
The modular synthesizer part plays a central role. Its unpredictable, luminous, and often otherworldly voice captures something of the moonlight, wind, and half-said thoughts that ripple through Strēlerte’s work. At the heart of the piece are also the three unique musicians of Trio Tresensus - their contrasting personalities, voices, and instruments come together like a finely woven fabric of nuance and detail. 
Composed in Gotland, where Strēlerte herself once landed as a refugee, the work also echoes her journey and presence in this place - both fragile and powerful.

Santa BUŠS is a Latvian composer especially interested in detailed pre-compositional process and working with extra-musical ideas (found in other art forms, physiology, history, mythology, nature, architecture, medicine, sports, philosophy, etc.). 

Though her main focus and form of expression has been linked with instrumental music, lately she has discovered a deep interest in the voice and its possibilities, as well as being keen to expand her approach towards sound, composition and exploring different forms of collaboration. 
This also includes exploring territories between conventional and unconventional notation and performance techniques, as well as experimenting between the boundaries of music, theatre and opera, often focusing on the physical manipulation of instruments and the presence of musicians as a source of drama. 

She has studied both composition and musicology at the Latvian Academy of Music and Hamburg University of Music and Theatre. 

Her works have been performed throughout Europe, in North America and Asia.
