Elysia uses a custom setup of an Electric Guitar both as an instrument and as a control device, influencing the behaviour of compressors and gates within Max for Live in real-time, and 'prepared amplifiers' whose speaker cones are prepared with objects manipulated directly by the performer. By using this technique, the piece focuses on the shaping of texture of layers of guitars over time.
This is a condensed edit of the piece.
It has already been performed around the UK on tour with Talvihorros, as well as at the Sound Festival in Aberdeen.
