Interview about "Bui"

Sylvia Maessen

In Bui, Sylvia Maessen’s composition comes to life through the synergy of soprano Irene Maessen, pianist Loes van Ras, percussionist Arjan Roos, and Maessen herself on double bass. With lyrics by Martin Reints, the performance embodies a unique, multifaceted exploration of emotion and sound.

Bui, composed by Sylvia Maessen, is a contemporary exploration of sound and lyricism, where each note invites a deeper connection with the emotions conveyed through Martin Reints' evocative lyrics. The composition is performed by a dynamic ensemble: Irene Maessen (soprano), Loes van Ras (piano), Arjan Roos (percussion), and Sylvia Maessen herself on double bass. The work is a delicate yet powerful journey through musical textures, with each instrument adding to the overall depth of the piece. At 1:27 in the interview, Maessen shares insights into the creation of Bui, shedding light on the process behind blending voices, percussion, and the double bass to create a unified musical narrative.
