Opening of the festival of alternative technological arts

A week before the opening of the main venue of the ALT+E Fest 2010 festival of alternative technological arts and alternative energy sources at ArtPlay on the Yauza River, a pre-party event will be held on Saturday, July 10. Specifically, a unique concert of experimental electroacoustic music by young composers from Poland and Russia will take place. All music will be performed live using computers and electronic devices. The concert will be accompanied by real-time generated video by video artists and special generative computer programs. To participate in the pre-opening of AltE Fest, young Polish musicians and media artists representing the well-known label Few Quiet People will visit Russia for the first time. This label is interesting in that it attracts youth to the 'adult' genre of 'electroacoustics.' Despite the obvious experimental sound, its artists (some of whom are not even 25) are already very popular in academic circles and among intellectual youth. Our guys from the Russian community LoveLiveElectronic (LoLieL.tk) will provide a warm welcome to our Polish colleagues. This community can confidently be called the 'reanimators' of the Russian experimental electronic scene. In two years of existence, they have organized more than 20 events and have pushed the domestic 'non-format electronic' youth onto all the leading platforms of modern art and sometimes even science. Participants: Tomasz Bednarczyk, Dmitry Morozov, Maciej Neiman, Makarov/Liedwart, Jan Dybala, Patrick K.H., Alexander Naymushin (Vj Kirsan), Natalia Poloka (Vj Poloka), Yulian Logos (Vj Angelian). The pre-party will continue with a club program all night from July 10 to July 11, featuring over 20 live electronic groups and projects of various genres of dance and non-dance electronic music at the Palitra club on Bersenevskaya Embankment (http://palitraclub.ru). AvantSpace at ArtPlay on the Yauza River (5/7 Nizhnyaya Syromyatnicheskaya Ulitsa) starts at 20:00, admission is free. http://AlteFest.tk
