about

Fresh recording of Elena Rykova's “Silenced” (2019) by FRAMES Percussion under the supervision of the composer.

"Silence is golden, or so I was told when I was young.

Silence is the ocean of the unsaid, the unspeakable, the repressed, the erased, the unheard. It surrounds the scattered islands, made up of those allowed to speak and of what can be said and who listens. Silence occurs in many ways for many reasons; each of us has his or her own sea of unspoken words.

Silences built upon silences, a city of silence that wars against stories. A host of citizens silencing themselves to be accepted by the silenced. People meeting as caricatures of human beings, offering their silence to each other, their ability to avoid connection. Dams and seawalls built against the stories, which sometimes break through and flood the city.

In the landscape of silence, the three realms might be silence imposed from within; silence imposed from without; and silence that exists around what has not yet been named, recognized, described, or admitted. But they are not distinct; they feed each other; and what is unsayable becomes unknowable and vice versa, until something breaks.”

(excerpts from “The Mother of All Questions” by Rebecca Solnit)

A composer and artist, Elena Rykova, explores a wide variety of genres in music and visual art, ranging from interdisciplinary and performance art to chamber and electroacoustic music. She brings together instruments and found objects, extending one through another and creating performative musical situations, often with a strong visual aspect.

FRAMES Percussion is a group dedicated to newly created repertoire. Formed by a new generation of percussionists, the group was born with the intention of facing the most demanding programmes of the current repertoire, with a careful preparation and the maximum respect for the new compositional languages.

Recorded at Phonos by Ángel Faraldo in October 2020.
