Thought Sectors

Performed by Synergy’s Artistic Director Rebecca Lloyd-Jones, Sarah Hennies’ composition Thought Sectors takes you on a virtuosic exploration of timbre, consciousness, and banality.
Composed for solo percussionist, Thought Sectors explores the constant tension of divided consciousness, challenging the listener’s experience of comfort and familiarity through altering one’s sense of space and time, accentuating the extremes of audible and inaudible listening.

Staged at the Seymour Centre’s Reginald Theatre, Thought Sectors leans into agonisingly slow and static repetitions of motivic material woven amongst microtonal passages of vibraphones and bells while pivoting to the melancholy sonorities of the stapler, flour sifter, and water pitcher.

This spell-bindingly beautiful work takes the listener on a multi-sensory, immersive sonic journey, renegotiating the performer and listener experience.
