Starlight Suite is a collection of short compositions employing custom hand tracking and wearable technology. Through gestural motion and piano performance, Celes navigates through a complex harmonic landscape. Condensed microtonal clusters open up to wide consonances as starlight falls to earth.
Sylvia Celes
Sylvia Celes (b. 1993), is a DJ, composer, performer and researcher based between Los Angeles, California and Brooklyn, New York . Her work is concerned with contemporary systems and technologies as they relate to the complex and radical history of electronic music. Through explorations of acoustic phenomena, complex harmonic relationships, and time, Celes embodies a desire to collapse distances; between individuals, between cultures, between the self(s); and make legible sound as a relational and intimate process. She holds a BA in Painting and Theory from the NYU Gallatin School of Independent Study, and is currently completing her MFA in Composition at CalArts.
