Some Influences around…

There are such phenomena in life that soar the brain. They are rare, but they can stun, delight and leave an imprint for life. When I was 17 or 18 years old, I don’t remember exactly, the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine became such a brain explosion for me.

This cartoon seemed to connect the disparate parts of my mind into a whole single picture. The origins of later cultural phenomena became apparent. It was a revolutionary visual journey for me, with all this incredible psychedelia. Such a masterpiece, already older than half a century…

Since then i constantly look for such “milestones in personal development”, when you feel really outstanding and unique experience through somebody else’s work.

 

Techno, Electronics, Experiments, Sound Design

I quit techno in 1996. Although the experimental sound remained, the music itself has changed completely. It became clear that the language of this style no longer suits me. I needed electronic music without repetitive rhythm to concentrate on the sound. I wanted to focus on all the subtleties of the sound, the play of timbres, and “hidden” sounds.

The language of techno has become uncomfortable for me. What needed to be said could not be conveyed through its repetitive rhythm. But electroacoustics, live electronics, and installation art had the very concentration that I needed. And, of course, the drugs that were popular in the technoculture at the time were fed up. I was tired of seeing people extinguish themselves as if they were candles in the wind. It was time for me to quit, and since then I have never regretted that I chose a different path. Despite all of said above, still love to experiment with house music, trance music, and sometimes even electro.

 

Music writing is like a note of something that almost reached ending before it hardly started. It’s not just “drawings” with stencil.

It’s a process of humans’ thought development fixation. Improvisation, as if something removes from sounds’ rout and acquires shape.
I try to take a look from the side and understand, maybe even “read” composition in my head.


Music influences us inexplicably. We listen to it so we can have a rest from all problems, dive into fictional world.All this takes place somewhere where words, pictures, light can’t get.

Music on the one hand is an effective way of immersion into a certain state. And on the other hand it’s creation. We create to get emotions.

Theater, Immersivity

For me, the theater lives as a whole together with music and light. There is no division into actor, stage, light, and sound. Everything exists at the same time. The sound is integrated into the acting, and the play is integrated into the sound and light. The focus shifts from the familiar figure on the stage and expands to the entire scene.  Everything is important in it. It is one indivisible whole.

This is how multimedia theater lives, as well as immersive theater, which I also do. Most often, in such new theatrical forms, there is no familiar language, and even if there is one, it is yet unknown. Therefore, the music in the new theater becomes this conductor, the language of which is spoken by everyone.
