Bára Gísladóttir »Silva« & Robert Piotrowicz

Presented by CTM Festival in collaboration with Deutsche Oper, Icelandic composer Bára Gísladóttir performs her work »Silva«, a downward-growing forest of bass and shadow. Built entirely from the double bass and its electronically processed extensions, the performance imagines a forest rooting itself into darkness rather than reaching for light. Thick, oil-dark drones gather at its core, while higher overtones hover like pale vapor rising from subterranean heat. Every tone originates directly from the instrument in her hands, layered and transformed into a dense, breathing mass of slow-burning tectonic movements. The evening is co-headlined with Robert Piotrowicz.
