She, Miracle

by Asta Hyvärinen

for soprano and electronics

Description

"The work "She, Miracle" has got its inspiration from my pondering of reality, dreams and existence and there are also many films that have affected my thoughts during the decades, like, for example The Tenant, American Psycho, Total Recall, Matrix and some films by Luis Buñuel.

There have also been a few actual situations that happened to me during the years when the borders of reality and dreams were mixed or unrecognizable.

However, the fact is that so-called "reality" doesn't exist similar for all of us: it's a relative and complex concept. For me, creating art is building reflections of the disintegrating world, in which more and more people are living in virtual reality, or are they dreaming, seeking a miracle?"
