    Supported by SHAPE+, Słyż will engage with cellist Judith Hamann, and saxophonist Gerard Lebik in re-scoring and expanding the potentials of »Softness, Flashes, Floating Rage,« a monumental 26-minute long track off her second album, A Vibrant Touch. Working to find connections between acoustic and synthetic sounds, the trio will elaborate on the rich drone structures of Słyż’s modular synthesizers, exploring the physicality of Hamann and Lebik’s respective instruments through the pressure of a finger on the cello’s string, or the intensity of a breath’s attack in the saxophone.

    The work’s full premiere presentation will take place Saturday 28 January, within MONOM’s 4DSOUND system, as part of the event Spatial Live x CTM 2023.
