Name: Concrete Listening Show - ILYICH - Refuge Worldwide Radio - 26.06.2024 by ILYICH
Duration: 1 h

Welcome new episode of our guest series in which ILYICH plays live and pilots full sound of electronic music through soul and jazz. 

Embedded into a fusion of six-string bass and djing, playing with synthesisers, drum machines, string orchestras, and choirs ILYICH tells stories. The stories, situated in South Ukraine are inspired by struggle and resolution and shared as past life recollections from various first person perspectives.

His new album "afterlife" is a musical journey through fantastical stories, soundscapes and the pulse of a new beginning. Conceiving the afterlife as something unfolding now, the album afterlife is responding to the military invasion of Ukraine with semi-fictional narratives, cinematic soundscapes, bass grooves and poems, string orchestras and broken beats. afterlife is a practice of grieving and new beginnings, life after the latest moment of personal and collective history. The album embraces an uneasy place as the dawn of the fantastical.

CHAPTER #2024 W/ ILYICH 24/03/2024

he Concrete Listening Show traces ways of listening through words, jazz, and electronic music.

This show is special in celebrating the second anniversary of ILYICH's residency at Refuge Worldwide.

This show listens to "that fine space between desire and always the grave" and recalls the moment of finally being able to hear Sun Ra. It listens to the wind as music, cosmology, and architecture, and reminds us to listen to our inner voice while keeping our intent intact.

In this stream of appearances, this show will be transmitting the voices of the writer, professor, philosopher, intersectional feminist, poet and civil rights activist Audre Lorde; jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, and percussionist John Gilmore; filmmaker, writer, literary theorist, composer, and professor Trinh T. Minh-ha and last but not least the infamous extraterrestrial, musician and poet Col. Bruce Hampton from the Aquarium Rescue Unit will join the show.

This anniversary episode is also special as it celebrates the release and first collaboration between ILYICH and celebrated African House DJ and Refuge Worldwide Resident Floyd Lavine. In keeping with this soulful and jazzy track with a highlight feel, this Concrete Listening Show will focus on sharing songs filled with poetry and voices including Laura Mvula, Khadja Bonet, and Emma-Jean Thackray among many others.

Convinced of listening as a generative practice, the Concrete Listening Show points towards the challenges and solutions, which are simultaneously practical and theoretical, empirical and conceptual, literal and metaphorical, mystical and material, political and spiritual, collective and individual, mundane and extraordinary.

ILYICH @ The Lot Radio 02 - 14 - 2020

ILYICH is a musician and storyteller reincarnated in Kherson, Ukraine.

Augmenting music performances with performance art ILYICH pilots full sound of electronic music through soul and jazz. Fusing synthesisers, drum machines, string orchestras, live bass and choirs ILYICH shares otherworldly stories of struggle and resolution told from multiple first-person narratives.

In high resonance with dancers and nerds, ILYICH is known for their live music releases with the Nervous Records and the Lot Radio in New York; Gilles Peterson and the BBC 6 Music Radio Rotation; unearthly performances at the Roskilde and Fusion Festivals and discursive occurrences at the Galleries, Museums and cultural spaces including the Serpentine Galleries in London; Sonic Acts in Amsterdam, SAVVY Contemporary, Centre for Contemporary Arts and House of the World Cultures in Berlin among others.

After leaving Ukraine as a refugee in the late 1990s the middle name ILYICH disappears from the artist’s papers and reappears as a semi-fictional persona during the contemporary art exhibition documenta14, in Athens in 2017. ILYICH’s elusive origin and fluid identity, their sound, music and stories encourage imaginative exploration and challenge contemporary forms of marginalisation processes on Earth. Committed to developing artistic responses in the form of musical concerts, interactive sonic sculptures, and learning sites ILYICH is motivated to momentarily disrupt identitarian, fascistic, and hyper-individualised constructions of the self that separate us. ILYICH is the initiator of the Grounded Outer Space People, a nomadic artist residency/music ensemble tracing the relationship between transmigration and music and the host of the Concrete Listening Show at the Refuge Worldwide Radio synthesizing words spoken by musicians and artists intuitively connected through jazz, soul, house, electronic, experimental, and improvisation-based music.

Driven by the vision to construct conditions for a unitive experience ILYICH develops an entirely different set of cosmological coordinates through music, sound, visual art and theatre. Fearlessly interwoven with myth and the act of storytelling this cosmic landscape meets the audience halfway and invites to unlearn predetermined relational models.
