Aleksandra Słyż is a Polish composer, sound designer and sound engineer currently residing in Stockholm, Sweden. She has soundtracked and created sound design for multiple films, worked on various installations, and composed music for different ensembles. She has performed at many experimental music festivals, including Unsound Festival (Krakow), Ephemera Festival (Warsaw), Avant Art Festival (Wroclaw), Between Festival (Stockholm), Idealistic Festival (Copenhagen), Kiev Music Fest (Kiev), Open Source Art Festival (Sopot), Sanaatorium of Sound (Sokolowsko), UNG Nordisk Musik Festival (Pitea) and others.

Aleksandra Słyż joins Warm Winters Ltd. with A Vibrant Touch, her second full-length album. While her debut Human Glory released by Pointless Geometry explored two distinct approaches and techniques, here she finds her unique path forward: finding connections between acoustic and synthetic sounds, creating rich drone structures, slowly but intensely pulsing and resonating within the surrounding space and within each listener. "I am very much fascinated by the processes related to the body sensations experienced through sound and its movement. I have always perceived sound as a physical phenomenon, travelling as waves of energy, as vibrations which we can literally feel and physically experience," she shares. "Therefore, from the very beginning I wanted to use recordings of specific acoustic instruments, which in my opinion beautifully represent the motion itself." Joining Słyż and her modular synthesizer on A Vibrant Touch is a quartet of musicians playing violin (Kosma Műller), viola (Kamil Babka), cello (Anna Szmatoła) and alto saxophone (Marcus Wärnheim).The three pieces on the album explore the physicality of sound of these instruments – like the way a finger or bow presses down on the string of a cello, or the air pressure in the saxophone when someone blows inside it – as they intertwine with expert navigation of modular synthesizers .......
