I played on DIY synthesizers, visuals VVVV. After the concert you could play with my synths.

Noiseroom. Concert in collaboration with the laboratory of sound experiments in the field of modular synthesis "Birth of Sound".

The performance is presented at the Sixteenth International Festival of Experimental Sound "Prepared Environments 2024".

My performance is an act of creation. There is a lot of water around me, it falls from the sky and then spreads into rivers, feeding our land. I collect this frozen water and connect it with fire, making it flow and by the act of creation from each moment of connection I create drops of water that change the sound, touching the sensors - each drop changes the algorithm of the virtual synthesizer, which is part of the sound performance.

The glass, being between frozen water and fire, gets into a tense state: the fire heats it up, the frozen water cools it, the glass cracks and bursts from such a connection. It also transmits its "sensations" to the sensors, which sound in the overall sound composition.

The program code creates a sound composition, which gradually fills with text, capturing the entire space of the code, leaving only an echo, and silence sets in. Like devices that run out of power in the forest, and sound that dissolves and disappears.

"When we come to the forest, we can see a glowing magic flower..." Rethinking Michael Marder's "Plant Thinking", we should "let the plants bloom on the edge of the phenomenal and visible world." This is a desencontro encounter. The magic flower lives for 1 day, gradually failing due to time and finiteness.

The body is an instrument of consciousness.
Walking is a ritual that allows you to connect to the energy of the Earth and establish contact with nature, calm the mind and tune in to working with magical energy.
In my work, I use bracelets equipped with electronics that are worn on the leg. Using an accelerometer, walking data is collected and transmitted to the installation. Next, the processes of walking are visualized and sonified, telling about my movement in space. I use granular synthesis of field recordings of my walking and additive synthesis method to create a sound composition. The values transmitted from the bracelet about my walking affect the parameters that form the visual and sound.
