прочитав "для хора і рабів") а хор класний - не плануєте щось українською заспівати?

i’m now working on idea of “adaptation” of Ukrainian folklore from the perspective of word and its deep metaphors. the goal was to make a minimalistic, but dense and emotional “sound life” around the main text. material which you can hear in track are recordings of sound sculptures, which are made by the singer of this project - artist and musician Liubov Plavska. 
This track is based on a wedding song, which uses complex metaphors to retell a woman's path from one state of life to another. a path of trials, a path of strength and love.

One of the books dedicated to the founder and long-time director of the Polish Radio Experimental Studio Józef Patkowski is entitled “Patkowski. Ambassador of music from Mars”.
As the author of the book Agnieszka Pindera explains, electronic music at the time of its appearance - was most often heard in documentaries on space.

In 2021 humanity can already hear the sounds of Mars, but it still needs - ambassadors of the future, visionaries, inventors of new thinking, discoverers of new ways of developing art and society.

The futuristic artists of the 1920s were the same ambassadors of the future in European culture. Those who laid the foundations of new musical thinking, including the esthetic foundations of electronic music, to the development of which Józef Patkowski dedicated his life.

The world discovered by Józef Patkowski, the world of electronic music, the real "universe of sound" was no less impressive than the "space of the starry sky", and its study in the mid-1950s was like the discovery of a new planet.

Józef Patkowski paid great attention to the involvement of scientific approaches in the development of artistic practice in the field of electroacoustic music, sound synthesis research and acoustic research methods in musicology.

The work “Prostory Svitla ” is an attempt to involve artistic futuristic practices and constructivist principles of the art of Ukrainian futurism

in the contemporary artistic context.

Among such concepts, the first is the idea of "constructive dynamism", described by Valerian Polishchuk in the magazine "Avant-garde" in 1929, where the author reflects on the problem of artistic perception the dynamic nature of reality.

The work is a personal exploration of darkness in both a literal and a metaphorical way.  On the one hand, it is an homage to the victims of the dramatic events that were taking place throughout 2022/23 in my hometown, Kyiv, when the bombings of civilian infrastructure during the invasion led to major electricity cutoffs. With the word “Kiovia” being the denomination of the Ukrainian capital in Latin language, the idea is to evoke a soundscape of a megalopolis submerged into blackness. On the other hand, the composition reflects upon the structure of the Tenebrae, a liturgical service held at night with gradual extinguishing of candles and concluded by a loud noise in the dark.

Werkbeschreibung

Vom „Mut bewölkter Tage“ gehört zu einer Reihe von Stücken, die sich mit der Beziehung zwischen Sucht und Musik befasst. Das Stück wurde 2023 im Rahmen eines Lectureconcert mit dem Titel „Die Biologie des Verlangens“ (gehalten in der Galerie Nemtsov&Nemtsov) vom Duo Interconnections uraufgeführt. Ausgehend von der persönlichen Erfahrung der Drogenabhängigkeit und ihrer Überwindung mit Hilfe einer Entwöhnungstherapie im Jahr 2020, rückt die neurobiologische, psychologische und drogenpolitische Bestimmung des Abhängigkeitsbegriffs seitdem in den Vordergrund meines Komponierens. 
Gemäß einer Studie aus dem Jahr 2011 an der Universität von Toronto1 aktiviert Musik dieselben Regionen innehalb des zerebralen Belohnungsystems, die auch von psychoaktiven Substanzen oder psychoaktiven Verhaltenensweisen (social media, Autoraserei, Glückspiel u.a.) angesteuert werden, um Rauschzustände und Glücksempfindungen herzustellen. Das verschiebt den Diskurs über Sucht und Musik als zwei Strategien des Überlebens auf drastische Weise. Das zerebrale Belohnungssystem zwischen Erwartung und Befriedigung bewusst durch ein spezifische Zeitstruktur, nämlich rhythmischer ritardando-Modelle, die allesamt ausgeschrieben sind, anzusteuern: das ist das Ziel von „Vom Mut bewölkter Tage“. Die hörphänomenologischen Einschlagwirkungen dieser ritardando- und crescendo-Modelle bestimmen den Verlauf dieses Stückes. Die Musik bleibt so nicht einfach in einem Modell der Repräsentation stehen, sondern sie wird zum direkten Zeugnis eines Willens, zu überleben.

Sagardía - Vom Mut Bewölkter Tage (2023) - Duo Interconnections - 2023

created as first_tape duo with Mariia Tytova as part of performance "Shirts&Shoes" in 2018, Kyiv. 
this track is about making your first music that will be forever the first!
as a composer of this project i was challenged to make a big sound database of Kyiv city, and then implement sounds with the recorded sounds of other participants from USA. on this tape i used piano which was recorded by Peter Kyle in USA, some Kyiv bazaar ambience, my saxophone playing in the middle of the night, and some Crimean sea in the end.

BEST MUSIC TO MAKE LOVE

Reverie is an acousmatic composition that leads the listener through an immersive fantasy centered around deconstructed music boxes. The work comprises eight sections that alternate between explorations of the music boxes’ gears and chimes. In the work, the music boxes’ sounds are pulled apart, exaggerated, expanded, and combined with other sounds whose timbres and textures are reminiscent of the original. As the piece unfolds, the timbres increase in spectral and textural density, and the associations become more and more fantastical. Gears are transformed into zippers, coins, chainsaws, motorcycles, and fireworks, and the chimes morph into rainstorms, all sizes of bells, pianos, and more. 

Reid composed the work during residencies at the Ucross Foundation and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. 

Reverie won First Prizes in the 6th International “New Vision” Composition Competition “Galaxies” in memory of Nicolaus Copernicus, the 8th KLANG! International Electroacoustic Composition Competition, and Musicworks' Electronic Music Composition Contest; Sound of the Year's “Composed with Sound Award”; and Second Prizes in both the Xenakis International Electronic Music Competition and the XIII° International Destellos Competition.
