Aleksandra Słyż

Aleksandra Słyż is a Polish composer. She holds degrees from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, the Poznań Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. In her compositions, she explores connections between acoustic and synthetic sounds. This process is often rooted in rational tuning systems, through which she constructs rich, complex drone structures that highlight the power of microtonal, electroacoustic tensions. Interactive sonification systems are another major part of her artistic practice. Between 2017 and 2022, Słyż conducted artistic research involving practical experiments with movement sonification and different modes of interaction. Her works have been presented at leading contemporary and experimental music festivals and venues including Rewire Festival, CTM, Aarhus Festival, Unsound, Warsaw Autumn, ORF musikprotokoll, the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Fylkingen, Alice Tully Hall, Ancienne Belgique and Stadtcasino Basel.
