Sound in Z
Experiments of the Russian avant-garde in the early 20th century

In the science-fiction essay »The Enemy of Music« (1917) the young 
inventor Evgeny Sholpo describes a machine, capable of synthesizing any 
sound and producing music according to a special graphical score without 
any need for a performer. He was sure, that, armed with mathematical 
formulae, he can break mystical and idealistic tendencies with an 
explanation of the phenomena of music creation. These ideas were mainly 
embodied in the sound cinema of the early 1930 s, but the rapid growth 
of censorship and repression, the fight against »formalism« and other 
such changes had, by the late 1930 s, put a stop to practically all 
experimentalism.

Andrey Smirnov's lecture will introduce the artistic and intellectual 
climate
of this era and will expose the lost wisdom.

The »Method« Group
and the Theory of Projectionism in Russia of the 1920s

Aftermath of the October Revolution the new ideology of the State of the 
Soviet Russia needed an art based primarily on materialism, natural 
science and a formal analysis rather than on abstract emotions. The 
artist, Solomon Nikritin developed a fundamental theory of art called 
Projectionism. According to this theory »an artist is not a producer of 
consumer goods (a cupboard, a picture), but author of (PROJECTIONS) 
METHODS«. Words like inspiration and miracle of creativity were replaced 
by quite palpable notions such as matter (canvas, paint, body, sound 
etc.), texture and structure. Members of his »Method« Group realized the 
ideas of the Projectionism in the painting, at the Projection Theatre 
and others projects.

CONCERTS | Thursday June 18th 2015 21:00 onwards


Martin Howse / Kathy Alberici


Venue: Uferstudios (Heizhaus),
Uferstr. 8 / 23 oder Badstr. 41 a,
13357 Berlin

Martin Howse: EARTH_VOICE un-earths a dirty, soil circuit, modulating 
and expressing wormed and human voice, uniting deep earth currents and 
atmospheric signals with vocal bone and tongue fragility.

EARTH_VOICE explores the detection and extraction of code and signals 
from the sheer ground through unrefined electrochemistry and 
manipulation of crystal-bound electrons, air and light.

Kathy Alberici: Experimental violinist, Kathy Alberici performs solo. 
Inhabiting a tingling space between noise, soundscapes, and drone, she 
will lead you through dark corridors to abandoned wilderness, emerging 
out of the shadows to tap you on the shoulder and run into the trees. 
Working with an entirely analogue set-up, sound is manipulated, recycled 
and deconstructed to reveal its many faces. From nothing comes 
something, the imperfections, the dirt becoming its own musical element 
in a complex weave of  reflexive feedback.

PROJECTIONISTS THE METHOD

»The Artist is not a producer of consumer goods, but of (PROJECTIONS) 
METHOD - the organization of matter. The intention was for new ideas to 
transfer creative energy into further development.« - from Smirnov's 
»Sound in Z«.

During their residency Hacklander \ Hatam, together with Swedish 
programmer Fredrik Olofsson, are entering into the dust of the 
unofficial archives of that time through the guidance of their guests 
Andrey Smirnov and Lubov Pchelkina.

The sonic duo Hacklander \ Hatam together with programmer Fredrik 
Olofsson, will use these archives as creative fodder in their 
concert-lecture »Projectionists (The Method)«.
