Sylvi studies electroacoustic and soundscape composition with Barry Truax working with voices (spoken & sung), instruments (trad & found) and environmental recordings from her own library, as well as the World Soundscape Project archives at Simon Fraser University, BC, Canada. Like 3 of the artists in Outside the Lines, sylvi has Multiple Sclerosis. http://www.sylvi.ca

Sylvi was interviewed on CBC about the installation. Here's the interview, which includes excerpts from does this Sound like me? with thanks to all the artists and all @ Society for Disability Arts & Culture this Soundscape was composed working with the artists’ voices and sounds of art materials: cameras, wood, hammer, saw, paint brushes in container and on canvas, beads, pencil writing and glass bottles (percussion & wind) ... some interviews were recorded long distance via telephone (rings). i’m honoured to have spent time with them and you can listen for a few minutes or join th artists for an hour dis-cussing (dis) abilities & art.
