Sound Art at GogolFest in Kyiv
Клубные российские · 01.09.2010
From September 5 to 12, the Dovzhenko Film Studio in Kyiv will host the GogolFest festival. Curator of the sound art program Patrick K.-H. on the event:
"In traditional music, which prevailed until the beginning of the 20th century, the main musical thought was linked with audible sound through notes and their sequences. Sound art, or the Art of Sound, which began with the intention of Italian futurists to 'break the narrow world of purely musical sounds and conquer the infinitely rich world of sound-noises,' establishes a direct unmediated connection with the listener's ear. Its task is to convey the idea of music as precisely as possible, what lies behind melody and chord harmonies. 'Noises have always been considered indistinct, but this is not true. Noises are articulated just as clearly as words in the dictionary' (P. Schaeffer). 'Sound is vibration, and everything vibrates on our planet. For this reason, we can hear every object' (J. Cage).
Among the richest set of mono- and multimedia branches that have appeared in Sound art over more than a century of tumultuous development, within the framework of 'Gogol Fest', we focus on algorithmic composition, audio-video programming, drawn sound, and, primarily, spatial sound – in the formats of installation, performance, and workshop".
