Diary 2019 — 2023

01.06.2023

Love / War

I grew up in Kaliningrad, ex Konigsberg. It was a german city near the sea, which was taken by the Russians after WW2. 
It is a city where past and present collide. Where Europe and Russia clash. You can see it everywhere. German architecture is close to the soviet style Xruschevkas and with modern malls and cafes. 
As in every resort city, near the sea, people are relaxed there. They are not in a rush. They like to enjoy themselves and nature. They are quite hedonistic. It become a part of my nature too. 
Something I need to deal with it and balance my ambition and pleasure-seeking tendencies that I have. It is not an easy task. I had many friends there, and I miss them. Now, most of them are spread around the globe. I wish I can see them one day, and walk together by the Baltic sea.

Балтийский Гедонизм

On November 18 of 2020, Vladivostok was hit by a Blizzard. I was studying that day. I had the plan to record a video podcast with my tutor at the time, Dmitry Morozov (vtol). The studio was set up and people were waiting for us. The producer called and said there is no electricity, and we can't make it today. So I decided to go home. The weather was brutal. The road usually takes me 10 minutes take almost half an hour. I was constantly falling. I was wet, cold, and bruised from falling on the ice. The wind was insane. 
When I was home, I was shaking from adrenaline and was grateful I survived. The next morning I woke up from crackling noises. I open up the shades and I saw massive branches fall from the trees one by one. The ice on the branches was too heavy. Every piece of grass becomes an ice obelisk. As terrifying the experience was, as beautiful as it looks after it was over.

Blizzard

This was the day of protests against Alexey Navalny's imprisonment. He just gets back to Russia and gets arrested immediately. It was my first protest. 
At the time I just started to understand how totalism arises and I felt my responsibility to make everything I could to stop it. 
It was an extremly cold day in Vladivostok. When I came to the square I saw a huge crowd of people walking down the road.  People were cheering and elated to get together. Students, elderly people, and all in between were walking and having a conversation. But it all stopped pretty quickly. Police slice the crown in half with paddy wagons. A huge amount of people in black armor get into the line. The tension was in the air. The crowd cheered "You are with us!" After 10  or 15 minutes clubs get in the air and police ran into the crowd. I was just one step away from a policeman. I get lucky. But many weren't.
I used sound samples from this event in this composition, as well as video footage from this day. I stopped filming just before the violence started.

This track is dedicated to going back home. To the apartment, my mom and I grew up in. The feeling of safety. The birthplace.
I left it to study in the MA program for 2 years, and then again after the war in Ukraine started.
It doesn’t feel safe anymore. But I always wanted to leave my town. So I am in a weird way grateful for this push. Will I find a home again? And what home means? These are open questions.
