23:38 Interview with CYRNAI

CYRNAI, a trailblazer in the experimental genre of electronic music, delivered a captivating performance at Piqued, drawing from her vast archive of over 100 albums. Her pioneering work, possibly making her the first woman to create analog sounds from homemade electronic equipment alongside found objects like raw metal and plastics, resonated through the intimate venue. CYRNAI's performance was not just a musical set but a journey through the decades, showcasing instruments that span from the 1970s to the 2000s. She brought to life her father's drum machine from 1975 and a matching analog delay, creating a bridge between past and present with sounds that felt timeless. Her approach, deeply influenced by her background as a visual illustrator and writer, integrates various art forms, reflecting a profound interconnectivity. CYRNAI's set was a reflection of her experimental ethos, combining sound design, field recordings, and innovative technology like the Sensel Morph, which allows for a tactile interaction with digital sounds. Her performance at Piqued was a vivid illustration of her unique ability to blend history, personal narrative, and cutting-edge technology into a cohesive and immersive auditory experience.
