Thank you sylvi! I was inspired to post this blog about sylvi's new work as I listened to her beautiful song and poetry as it came into my inbox this morning.
"I care for you like an old ancient tree, you are the feather falling to me..."
As sylvi's press release states: "See Through Publishing in association with VAMS, is pleased to announce the release of The Feather (video). Feather will feature in an upcoming book/dvd that will include footage of sylvi, who has multiple sclerosis, when she was standing and playing guitar."
If I'm not mistaken this footage of sylvi from the past, is of the Uts'am Witness era! Her beautiful lyrics speak to the power of the forest behind her, to inspire and to sustain.
sylvi participated in the Uts'am Witness project from the early days.
You can buy the Uts'am Witness CD she created as fundraiser for the project (proceeds now going to our Picturing Transformation book Project) on the Hello Cool World Webstore.
"Sylvi is an inspiration to the world. A superb composer and sound artist who easily risesabove every conceivable obstacle to create memorable and demanding projects with extremely positive values" -Charlie Richmond
sylvi's music runs from folk to cinema-for-the-ears soundscapes. Her songs have a particular depth. This video is particularly cool for how it showcases sylvi's talent, but also the recording facility itself at Vancouver Adapted Music Society's fully-accessible recording studio.
The VAMS recording studio, located at GF Strong Rehab Centre, has all-custom equipment that makes music accessible. More:www.vams.org
