| The project contextually is composed of contrasting parts: industry and nature; present and memory; reality and illusion... In the middle of this contradiction is the man, who, as embodiment of inconformity, does not see the future, and continuously turns to the past, by losing the present... Such is the character of the contemporary man, who is yet to emancipate from his fears... Often, fine arts, music, and literature, by addressing the same issue interweaving with each other, create a more complete, and encompassing image. A synthetic genre, such as this project, emerges as a result. Man, trying to reach accommodation and harmony with himself, may have destructive desires, and return to the roots by merging with nature... Often he seeks refuge in religion. Sometimes he even resigns from all human attributes, but still is unable to find what he is looking for. Figures dressed in religious robes accompany their ritualistic movements with primitive and rough rhythms, as if calling their ancestors... These are the rhythms, which awaken animal instincts... The other part of the music relates more to the present than the past, to new means of communication. Loud samples of electronic and industrial sounds presented in the form of techno-music are heard. On this background recitation of a verse is heard. One layer of this recitation is the text read backwards (from end to front), and the other layer is “electronically reversed” version of the same “backwards read” text. It conveys impression of a magical intonation. The only difference is that one usually does not comprehend the reversed text, but wisdom of this one comes through as general feeling of a beautiful poem. Thus, while magic text is compiled of comprehensible words, it is the magic of poetry which makes impression. |
