The Birds; they stare at me from the window

2022
for solo soprano and electronics
written for and performed by Stephanie Lamprea

Topics of isolation, loneliness, and the way this makes us feel as human beings was the focal point behind this electroacoustic work. The piece follows the narrative of someone spending an excessive amount of time alone indoors, slowly starting to pick up every little sound that surrounds them both consciously and subconsciously and building their own world within this liminal space.
