about

Written in collaboration with the writer Ella Salome, Resonance deals with the idea of perspective; the different ways our minds react to stimuli. The initial seed of inspiration was the idea that no situation will ever have the same emotional impact on two different people.

Resonance is a glimpse into two minds seeking to comprehend what could almost be considered a religious experience. The desolate environment in which the piece is set is interpreted differently by each character, resulting in a set of conflicting emotions regarding the entire experience.

In 2007 Owen Salome won the secondary-school category of the Sibelius Young Composers Awards for his chamber piece ‘Deep Fish’, which was subsequently premiered by renowned Sydney modern-music group Ensemble Offspring. In 2009 Owen was the president of the Sydney Eclectic Composers Society, a student-run society of the University of Sydney that champions the performance of new works composed by students.

Owen is also involved in a number of musical projects as a flautist, including the Sydney bands My Sauce Good and Doc Jones and the Lechery Orchestra. Owen is currently working with director Mathieu Cadart on a group-devised performance piece, ‘Land, Landing, Landed’, which was premiered as a part of the 2010 Sydney Fringe Festival in September.

lyrics

Text by Ella Salome

On the first day there was solitude,
The second day was peace
And there beneath the open sky
I found my soul’s release.

On the first day there was loneliness,
The second day was silence
and lost there in the barren land
I ended it with violence.

I found myself among the stars
I let the night consume me
Since that day I’ve travelled far
The shadows still consume me.

The essence of my very being spread across the
earth,
Flying, I fell upwards
yet,
Somehow I still sank below,
Unable to tell sand from snow.

Not equal to anything I’d ever
Screamed/Dreamed
About in so many sleepless nights
Of wandering,
Squandering my life away.
Today I found
That the sound was echoing
Through my unguarded mind,
Always from behind,
No matter where I turned.

It burned through
My ears
were filled with something glorious,
A chorus
Unequalled by any before,
Like a door from the heavens had opened in
wel’come in’
It seemed to beckon,
Like the gaping maw of a beast,
And as I fell forward all thinking ceased.

On the first day there was solitude,
The second day was silence
And there beneath the open sky
I ended it with violence.

On the first day there was loneliness,
The second day was peace
and lost there in the barren land
I found my soul’s release.
