Red Bull Music Academy Opens Migz 2011
Клубные российские · 22.08.2011
On September 4, the opening of the international festival of contemporary music and media art MIGZ 2011 will take place in Moscow for the fourth time. This year, the MIGZ festival will be held over three weekends, from September 4 to 18, at two main venues – the territory of Red October and Gorky Park. The festival will kick off in the newly renovated Gorky Park as part of the City Day celebrations on September 4 at the Red Bull Music Academy Radio stage.
The headliners for MIGZ on this day will be the Danish quartet When Saints Go Machine, performing a clever and deep combination of fragile electronics, club sounds, beautiful vocals, and unique Scandinavian warmth. Domestic musicians and DJs who have represented Russia at the Red Bull Music Academy at different times will also perform at MIGZ that day. Among them is the favorite of fashionable Moscow youth, DJ Dima Yaponets, hiding behind the pseudonym Taras 3000 – he will perform at MIGZ alongside another Moscow musician, Lipelis. Also, on that day the stage of the festival will host Alexander Goryachev aka 813 and Miracle Libido, representatives of the RAD community, which promotes new beats music, abstract hip-hop, and intellectually electronic music that defies strict genre definitions in Russia. Other participants include fresh members of the Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camp – the wonderful Alla Farmer from Samara, well known for her work in the group Bajinda Behind The Enemy Lines, and St. Petersburg talent Signor Mako, a future participant of this year's Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid. Completing the lineup is Moscow DJ veteran and musician Alexander Korneev, also known as DJ Chizh, who likely needs no special introduction to domestic clubbers, and the founder of the Headz.FM community, Ilya Rasskazov.
The program for the festival, which will be held in Moscow for the fourth time, is scheduled for three weekends – from September 4 to 18. The following weekend, September 9 to 10, will be dedicated to video art – a weekend of video mapping will take place in Gorky Park, where the best Russian collectives working in this field will perform at MIGZ. The main goal that the festival organizers set for themselves is to synthesize relevant music and media art in a single space, to show the inseparable connection between these forms of art in the 21st century.
The main events of MIGZ 2011 will unfold on September 16, 17, and 18 at "Red October" – festival visitors can expect performances from foreign and domestic music projects, special seminars and lectures from the masters of the Red Bull Music Academy, and many other interesting events.
One of the bright elements of the festival will be an installation from Nokia. Interactive art objects Nokia N9 will be placed at all festival venues. The design of the objects was developed by well-known artist designers such as Dmitry Aske, Alexander Matveev, Stain Studio, in[visible] Studio, Tatyana Plakhova, and Yanuk Latushka. Festival guests will receive special bracelets, which will allow them to check in near the Nokia N9 art object and receive a special prize.
The festival opening will be from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Gorky Park, admission is free.
