Path to The Soul

(2025)

For Electronics

Composed and Mixed by Gabrielle Dalsan

Premiered at The Royal College of Music, London (2024).

Path to The Soul explores the depths of silence, and the experiences that can arise through stillness and silence. Rooted in the practice of Tantra, Path to The Soul sonically embodied the movement of energy and love between two people, and how leaning deeper into that sensation can awaken the body to know itself.

The performance included vocal sampling of conversations between myself and a partner as we explored silence, music and happiness. Filmic in nature, the piece is like a short documentary of that moment between us - showing the importance of stillness between two people, for energy to flow in a natural way.

I performed live mixing, moving the music up and around the space in a way that brought greater height and depth to the performance.
