“Якую ролю музыка грае ў розных візіях ідэальнага грамадства — ад Платона і Томаса Мора да Берліоза і Скінэра? Як уяўляюць сацыяльныя функцыі музыкі фантасты і анты-ўтапісты? Як палітычныя і творчыя рухі апошняга стагоддзя грунтуюць свае ўтапічныя сусветы на рытме і музыцы? Дзе мяжа паміж гармоніяй і тыраніяй?”

This friday, 19.05, me, Apex Sphere and VJ Solar Olga will play for the first time as a trio - Force Carriers at Unsound Dislocation X Mental Force festival. Our A/V project ‘Eternal Wanderer’ is a tribute to a unique artist Jazep Drazdovič (1888-1954) who became the first Belarusian on the Moon, Mars, Venus, Saturn and other planets.

In 2008 Unsound Festival has changed my life by connecting me to other artists (Pinch, Artem Atrashevsky) and giving a chance not only to show my own music, but also to (re)present the Belarusian music culture abroad. So i’m glad to reciprocate by co-organizing the Unsound Dislocation X Mental Force festival in Minsk together with my Mental Force Festival colleagues.

And though festival organizer work eats half of my brain, i’m going to play there too: together with Alexei Usinovich (Apex Sphere, S4DS) and Volha Salakheyeva (VJ Solar Olga) we’re preparing a debut collab performance as Force Carriers. The project is dedicated to the great Belarusian artist, thinker and ‘eternal wanderer’ Jazep Drazdovič (1888 - 1954).

Together with Volha Salakheyeva i’m curating Artes Liberales festival audio/video/media-art program. This year’s edition is dedicated to all sorts of revolutions. See the full program here - Artes Liberales 2017

I will play on the 4th of March 2017 alongside Jacek Sienkiewicz, Grek, Morgotica, Stress Delivery Service. This is the 9th event of МЕЧТА (DREAM) series marking its 1st anniversary.

upd:

Together with my colleague Benjamin Cope i’ll be co-editing ‘P.S. Soundscapes’ - an upcoming (2017) issue of ‘Topos’ - journal of Philosophy and Cultural Studies. The volume will be dedicated to the questions of sound, music and listening in the Post-Socialist region.

Deadline for articles & reviews in English, Belarusian or Russian: 1 May 2017.
