Discovery

reading things out loud in sz's room (for matt)

To drink the «Ladoga» cranberry tincture after the beer. To swing around the city in something defiantly colorful instead of the usual mourning black. To move from Kreuzberg neighbourhood of Berlin to Longinovskaya street in Lefortovo. To eat a hot pepper with marshmallows in chocolate. To cut off your luxurious tresses and shave your head. Finally, stop rooting for the club from the Premier League and start supporting with all your heart the «Torpedo» football team from Lyubertsy.

None of these events comes close to the contrasts of the full vinyl mix recorded for us by Ilya Sheiman, co-founder of the Alt community, sound producer and our dearest friend.

Sheyman - 5/8 Radio #202

(live version)

‘And where should we go’ — live-recorded album by Homeless dog, the psychedelic electro-acoustic duo consisting of a screech of saxophone and electric guitar, vocals, synthesizers and ethnic instruments, in which Vladimir Sidorov and Ilya Sheyman study various forms of absurdity and chaos, scream and freeze, uprooting everything that is dug into the depths of thoughts and feelings. 

The musicians of the duo speak about the album as follows: 

“The war has come, which we did not want, were afraid of, which we are fighting against and which we hate. Up to this day, it keeps us awake at night, haunts us on the way to school or work, guards nearby grocery stores and on the subway, seeps into people's faces and rots, infecting their internal organs. Others lose their homes and loved ones, migrating all over the world in search of space and safety and do not know where to go. 

We don't know where we should go either. This live recording is our hour-long story about the feeling of being lost and empty, when there is nothing you can grab onto and everything disappears: the former world that you loved and tried to protect, but could not save, because there are people vaster than you and more terrible” 

The release is already available on digital platforms, a little later in audio cassette format.

"И куда нам деваться" — live-альбом Бродячей собаки, психоделического электроакустического дуэта в составе скрежета саксофона и электрической гитары, вокала, синтезаторов и этнических инструментов. Участники проекта Владимир Сидоров и Илья Шейман изучают различные формы абсурда и хаоса, кричат и замирают, выкорчёвывают всё, что врыто в глубину мыслей и чувств. 

Авторы рассказывают о содержимом альбома так: 

“Наступила война, которую мы не хотели, боялись, против которой мы боремся и которую ненавидим. Она по сей день не даёт нам спать по ночам, преследует нас по пути на учёбу и работу, караулит у продуктовых магазинов и в метро, просачивается в лица людей и гниёт, заражая их внутренние органы. Другие теряют дома и близких, разлетаются по миру в поисках воздуха и безопасности и не знают куда им деться. 

Мы тоже не знаем куда нам деться. Этот лайв — наш часовой рассказ об ощущении потерянности и пустоты, когда не за что хвататься и все пропадает: тот прежний мир, который ты любил и оберегал, но не смог сохранить, потому что есть люди выше и страшнее”. 

Альбом складывался весной и летом 2022-го года, был записан живьём для TESTFM в сентябре.

Samsuo ~ It's Not Hate, It's Love

An array of commonplace metal objects - chains, pans, a bicycle, a chair - recorded by Ross Alexander at home in Berlin during the pandemic comprise the source material of 11 𝑮𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔. Functioning as a temporal and mnemonic exploration into the nature and conception of “home”, the album evokes Alexander’s earliest memories and broader hauntological perspectives of post-industrial England:

“Growing up in South Yorkshire in the 1980s and 90s was an existence haunted with the ghosts of a heavy manufacturing industry which once thrived in the region. On both a visceral and sensorial level it might be considered equally as impossible to escape the nostalgic stories of mines and steelworks as it was to escape the smell of molten metal in the air drifting from the Don Valley.”

The improvised metallic scrapes, bangs, and bowings recorded by Alexander were further abstracted in live performances using granular sampling techniques, creating a new and extrinsic world to which subconscious thoughts can flee, sonically and contextually. The results are both dreamy and unpredictable, fusing the immediacy of acoustic percussion with the billowing resonances imbued by granular synthesis.

“On tracing back through distant memories of my formative years for sound-objects which represented to me the essential idea of ‘being from’ as opposed to ‘being a visitor’ I related to a pervasive association with the sounds of metal and metallic objects, mostly in respect to how certain structural properties relate to haptic and resonant nature and the manifestation of those properties as sonic results. I feel this is the result of growing up in a place where heavy industry, or at least the remnant of which, was central to society, community and everyday life.”

The Field Between: Music and Anti-Music

This artistic manifesto explores sound in the liminal space between music and anti-music—a generative field where the "unheard" insists on being felt rather than understood.
Music as Architecture: Music is framed as humanity's system for creating order and meaning from sonic chaos. It organizes, names, and classifies sound, offering maps and directions through auditory experience. Music builds bridges of meaning, structures time into comprehensible sequences, and domesticates temporal flow so it "makes sense." Fundamentally, music expresses gratitude for the recognizable, providing belonging and comfort through shared patterns and familiar structures.

Anti-Music as Invitation: Contrary to negation or rupture, anti-music is a profound expansion of sonic possibility. It doesn't destroy—it invites. This is an invitation to perceive differently, to embrace the unmapped and un-coded as valid artistic territory. Anti-music offers "foreignness not as exile, but as adventure"—a chance to be a stranger in one's own sensory experience. It presents the sublime: beauty in what escapes comprehension, abysses that aren't empty but full of strange possibilities "without baptism." Where music domesticates time, anti-music offers time without domestication. It expresses gratitude for mystery itself.

The Fertile In-Between: The work's core focus is the vibrant field existing between these poles—not a void but a charged space of becoming where the "inaudito" (unheard) insists, overflows, conspires, and expands. This recognition acknowledges that understanding is also limitation; every definition closes secret doors. Each act of comprehension loses infinite other readings.
Intuitive Reconnection: The practice seeks to reconnect with pre-lingual perception—sensing vibrations the body intuits without understanding. "In this not-understanding, I reconnect." This return to the un-codified is the core artistic act.

Unified Philosophy: Music and anti-music aren't opposing forces but symbiotic partners coexisting in the same sonic space. The work celebrates both the understood and its beyond, residing in what anti-music reveals: a "fenda linda"—a beautiful fissure in the fabric of the known, from which new ways of hearing and being emerge.
