The piece is a part of the “Maps of non-existent cities” cycle of pieces of different instrumental combinations. It is an attempt to create inner geography and topography, internal outside world. We all have our unique relations with the outer world. In a way we create or construct it in accordance with our personal expectations and preferences. I always believed the process of perception is similar to that of peering into the darkness - while your eyes get accustomed to the darkness, objects’ shapes appear in space. And you never know if these new-born objects are real or imaginary. The graphical score of the piece puts musicians in the situation of wandering, navigating from one sound object to another one, from one page to another, creating the unique trajectory throughout the material.

Performer: Ippolitov-Ivanov Music Institute Student Ensemble "XX century"

Violin: Natalia Popova

The title of the piece doesn’t open its content – there is nothing danceable in the piece and it is not a lullaby. However, the way the title unites two contrasting states, movement and dream, two independent elements coexist in the piece. Each of these elements has its own structural logic and can exist separately: the solo violin and the ensemble parts are two independent pieces. Only the strict rhythmic periodicity unites them. These are just the two parallel realities meeting on the scene by the composer's will – the crossing point of two parallel lines.

Dmitri Kourliandski -  Lullaby Dances

Performer: 2E2M
Conductor: Pierre Roullier
Voice: Boris Filanovski
Published by: Editions Jobert

The material of the piece are letters. Strings scratch them out with the bows, winds speak them into the instruments, the voice chokes with them, percussionist hits them onto the typewriter. But these letters do not form any text, they do not bear any message. They are nothing else than empty forms, abstract signs, mimic articulations - before the word birth or after its death. It is a sort of cemetery for words and sounds. It is a tomb for a former word-and-music union which seems impossible anymore.

The piece is a part of the project Orthography by the Structural Resistance Group (StRes).

Dmitri Kourliandski - Four States Of Same

Performer: Contrechamps
Conductor: Beat Furrer

The composition is an attempt to reconstruct Vladimir Tatlin’s Monument to the 3rd Communist International. The piece is part of the program “Reconstruction” of the Structural Resistance Group (StRes), dedicated to reconstruction of lost monuments or utopian projects of the Russian avant-garde of the 1920s.

Brief glossary:

Contra-relief – a term introduced by Vladimir Tatlin to designate three-dimensional space compositions made from expressly "unartistic" materials (iron, cardboard, wood, glass, plaster etc., sometimes combined with household items or fragments of ready-mades), that are both objects of art and art itself...

Vladimir Tatlin [1885 - 1953], Russian artist, designer, scene-designer, a major representative of innovative art of the 1920s, founder of artistic constructivism. Author of the Monument to the 3rd Communist International ("Tatlin Tower")…

Monument to the 3rd Communist International ("Tatlin Tower") – was displayed in December 1920 in Moscow during the 8th Congress of Soviets. The structure 1.5 times higher than the Eifel Tower was designed as an administrative and propaganda centre of Comintern, an organization that prepared the mankind for the worldwide revolution…

Brief description:

A structure made of metal beams and four transparent cubic capacities revolving with different speeds was to accommodate Comintern’s executive, legislative and propaganda agencies. The diagonal of the "Tatlin Tower" was connected with the two spirals encompassing it, while the revolving capacities were integrated into the bare frame structure. The original five-meter-high model of the "Tatlin Tower", last time displayed in 1930, was later lost (the most accurate of many “Tower” model reconstructions was made in Russia in 1992-93).

"Engrams are a hypothetical means by which memory traces are stored as biophysical or biochemical changes in the brain (and other neural tissue) in response to external stimuli." - Wikipedia

Listening to a musical oeuvre we listen to ourselves. We give to what we hear characteristics which permit us to fit it into a comfortable, acceptable system. These systems will vary depending on the individual holdings, experience, preferences and expectations. Thus, the field of art is a play with perception models. In every new composition we listen to we inevitably find a hypothetic trace of memory.
