After extensive
training in classical piano, Sylvi turned to painting.
Between 1976-1993 her art was shown in galleries in the U.S. and
Europe. In 1989, she began her journey into ambient/industrial
electronic music and in 1995, she started singing. These
elements soon combined in the development of soundtracks for
dance, theatre and cinema. Sylvi has scored the songs and music
for most of
Antero Alli's films and
theatre since 1989. In 1996, she designed and published "The
Vertical Oracle" (a neo-Tarot deck) and starred in "Lily in
Limbo", a 27-minute poetry film. Her music CDs include "Too Near
the Ghosts", "Dream of the Blue Moth" and "Under a Shipwrecked
Moon". Sylvi has been in the core group of ParaTheatrical ReSearch
since 1996 and currently appears in Antero's feature film "The
Greater Circulation", which she also co-produced. She
teaches women's group singing classes and private lessons.

The Vertical Oracle: a modern divination device
(1996), designed and published with Antero Alli
Contemporary divination deck of 52 full-color cards by Sylvie Pickering
accompanied by a book of provocative text by Antero Alli (author of "Angel
Tech", "Astrologik", and others). While not a traditional tarot, The Vertical
Oracle is designed to incite creative responses to everyday real life
quandaries. The ageless archetypes - Magic, Death, Rebirth, Ritual, Chaos,
Hope, Synchronicity - are given a 21st century context for inspiring more
meaningful connections between our vertical spiritual sources and the
horizontal realms of the out-there material world. Anter's text also includes
astrological interpretations for each card. The Vertical Oracle book/card set
comes packages in an attractive, durable hard case.

Too Near the Ghosts" (2001)
Features eleven original songs, ranging from gothic
ballads to dirges to arias -- a tapestry of haunted melodies and laments --
her vocals, rich with feeling and lyricism, float and soar through the
atmospheres of her spare instrumentations. Also includes music from the
soundtracks of the films "Roadkill", "Lily in Limbo" and "Tragos" by Antero
Alli.
