Music Session: Gamayun and Alexander Lisov

What happens

• In the first performance, you’ll hear the project Gamayun by Smolensk musician Anton Dvoenko. His music has evolved from electronic jazz fusion and melodic house towards an avant-garde, abstract and genre-defying sound. He is now exploring radical reduction, using a piano and several ready-made digital synthesizer timbres. Anton draws on the techniques of academic minimalists without moving into academic music, and explores whether familiar techniques and obvious clichés can be used to create something valuable in a new context while preserving his own artistic voice.
• In the second performance, composer and sound artist Alexander Lisov, previously known as Ylowii, will present a new work. It is based on the collision of two pianos tuned to 440 and 432 Hz. The resulting beats, microtonal drift and harmonic ambiguity become the main material, creating a soundscape that leaves the listener free to interpret it.
• The natural acoustics of this historic space will become part of the performances.

Good to know
