Otherworldy and hypnotic sounds

The electro-ambient musical outfit Cygna – a one-man project by Mario Sammut – will be performing a free, intimate concert at the Malta Museum of Fine Arts, South Street Valletta on June 10 from 20:00.

Sammut will be playing his entire album Opus ena, which will be available for sale at the event. The event will aim to be a multi-visual experience, with four projections covering a 180-degree area, with wireless headphones provided for a full, immersive experience. While performing at ambient and art festivals, Cygna’s works has been displayed in national art galleries, art installations, theatre projects and European film productions. Cygna interacts music with science, evolutionary art, and the organic earth simultaneously. For such properties and unique compositions, Cygna became the genuine field explored world wide due to the evolutionary sound works. Since 1998, Cygna has been magnifying unique combinations of modified ambient sounds evolved with classical instruments on an organic sound ground, all of which lead Cygna be the birth place of Symphonic Ambient. Cygna is heading to genuine success with his sound compositions as they attract collaborations with film producers, visual artists, alternative music festivals and theatre productions. Jule Bellman (director) defined Cygna’s works as “otherworldly and hypnotic. A listening experience that is always a visual experience with developing images and scenes abound in the mind’s eye.” Travis Nobles from Hiddenplace Music insists that Sammut creates a “quiet and desolated peace, a sudden rush of anticipation breaking into hearth-racing drums, creating music for the cinema of the imagination... each composition is packed as much as suspense danger, intense and intrigue as a whirlwind trip around the world.” Spaces are limited so booking from [email protected] is recommended.
