Discovered during the IRCAM Cursus program, laureate of the Fondation Royaumont, the young Israeli composer Sivan Eldar continues her fresh air pursuits with her passion for the beauty and complexity of the voice. Written for a text by Cordelia Lynn, Heave begins with the intimacy of a voice, he or she, one and multiple, taking off in the realistic environment of an acousmatic landscape.
