about

Composer Talya Eliav (Israel) and soprano Elena Tereshchenko (Italy) first met in Venice during the production of Talya’s opera Ab Ovo, where Elena performed the leading role. It was under the covid-19 quarantine that the two decided to collaborate again. While Elena recorded the vocal part in her apartment in Florence, Talya produced with her partner Shai Lowenstein the electronic accompaniment at their studio in Haifa. The result is an enchanting track, combining the voice of a gifted contemporary singer, with the sounds of synths, analogue effects and concrete recordings of night birds.

lyrics

Fingers
Fingers flying
Or floating freely
Fingers flying or floating freely
Across furniture and faces

the house

ears, eyes, nose, lips, bones
gaps
napping
on the sofa

feathers free
free feathers
free like dust
circles around
the space
of
the house
silence almost
with sound
(sounding silently)
Silent sound
Of birds
There! Look at my finger
Written by Talya Eliav
