Aleksandra Słyż is a Polish composer working in contemporary classical and electroacustic music. Her practice is primarily concerned with the perception of time, the timbral relationships between acoustic and synthetic sounds and the exploration of microtonal tuning systems.

Her works have been presented at numerous contemporary music festivals and venues, including Rewire Festival (The Hague), CTM (Berlin), Warsaw Autumn, hcmf// (Huddersfield), MaerzMusik (Berlin), Unsound (Kraków), ORF musikprotokoll (Graz), the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Fylkingen (Stockholm), Alice Tully Hall (New York), Århus Domkirke, Ancienne Belgique (Brussels), or Stadtcasino Basel. Her compositions have been performed by leading European orchestras and ensembles such as the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Basel Sinfonietta, the Sinfonietta Cracovia, the Orchestra of Futurist Noise Intoners, and the Spółdzielnia Muzyczna contemporary ensemble.


In 2025, she was invited by the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and London’s The Wapping Project to become the first artist to create new works for the legendary instruments of the Polish Radio Experimental Studio – unused for more than two decades and never before performed live. This expirience inspired her new artistic Research project, Ruiny (Ruins), which examines traces of the past: herritage, memories, practicies, identities – bringing forgotten histories back into focus and appreciation.
