For the first time i've been to an extremely cool music act. . it's been very loud and hi-end sounding. Besides ukrainian artists, both new and known to me, there were some bands and performers from other countries, notably Staalplaat Soundsystem from Germany/Netherlands, F.R.U.I.T.S. from Russia, Franz Pomassl from Austria and visual artists from Germany/Ukraine, who use sounds by Kotra and perform with him. They were excellent, btw. People closed their ears with hands. F.R.U.I.T.S. played excellent - i recommend them!!! two 40-something men from Moscow, they rocked, and had the best video from Roman Anikushin.. Franz Pomassl - well, very well noise with interesting live performance including intensive plug and wire feedbacked with mouth, ears, tables and hands of closest listeners. Staalplaat - what to say. Geniuses. They performed on Yokomono soundsystem - 9 or 10 toy cars riding on vynils. At last I've seen it myself. It was very good, now i know what it's like. For ~9 euros. Hehehe. Why pay more. How much does Glade cost? They've had a second part of the fest, where more techno-oriented people performed, but I don't know if they were any good because I escaped home after all experimental artists finished performing. Pity I haven't had a camera with me, and can't find any photos over the net yet. |

akuvido audio-visual program called Nebenainander 1.3 screenshot (left channel soundbank). It's a flash program with sounds by Kotra. Released as a cd on Staalplaat. I have bought it, damn consumerism. Visual part is different squares which rapidly move in different ways, in accordance with their sound. It went very well with their performance, because these squares pricked eyes as well as sound pricked ears. Merzbow-like sound terror. Even more frightening. |

there were noise, glitch, ambient, idm, electro-acoustic improvising artists, and a modern composer woman Alla Zagaykevich, with a crazy violin player Sergey Okhrimchuk, who together performed something hard to get. pictures, and festival designs were all made by akuvido (Anna Kuts and Viktor Dovhalyuk), who are crazy designers and often make Kotra album covers and crazy interactive flash+sound netprojects (sounds by Kotra, always). Check out . |

I'm really happy for you guys in Ukraine. It seems like a lot of good stuff is happening, with politics and creativity! |
||||||||

thanks! i'm not sure about politics, because I lack knowledge to tell something precise about it, but something definitely happens in the field of experimental music and I like that!!! |

Experimental music is unfortunate. |

Looks great. wish there was something like that here :( |

i don't know any of those acts, looks like a cool place though.. what is surprising is such a small crowd (judging on pics) for a city like kiew..i thought we had it bad overhere.. last night i went to see dalek, mono and oddateee..was nice. |

tolstoyed, you may have heard Andrey Kirichenko and Zavoloka at least. I suppose :) Crowd was rather big - minimum 200 people, and sometimes more people came in from outside, i think there were 400 of them in the peaks. The hall was not very big, but biggest of those i've been to, and if more people came, we'd have lack of oxygene and free space:) people could lay on the floor, dance, sit, stand the way they wanted. The hall is designed for fashion shows, with the catwalk in the middle, and Staalplaat performed on the end of this catwalk:) darkpromenade --> i bet you'll have something like that, Australia is better than Ukraine. you have BDO at least. Though it is not noise oriented, of course, but Aphex performed there, i have heard. |

ah right! im sure about zavoloka, i have a bunch of her mp3s! that place looks much bigger, and 200 or 400 isn't all that much for a 10 (?) million city :) we get more than that overhere for festivals like that and we're a city of 300.000..hmm |
||||||||

no 10 million :) just around 3 and a half. Four, if to count all the city visitors who live outside the city but work in Kiev. Anyway, it's not a lot of people, of course. Maybe not many people like such music, and I know two persons who wanted to come to the fest but one of them went fishing instead and another one was just lazy. Next year will be more! If xlt people do come:))) |
||||||||

|
|
uh oh! got that all wrong :) is there a line up for next year already? i think xlt ppl are very elitist and if you don't get rdj or ae to play i doubt they'd be up for it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no lineup yet:) the first fest took place only two days ago so we have to wait for 360something days. but I guess nexsound won't invite ae or aphex cause they don't have enough money yet and because these guys will look less experimental among the absolutely crazy performers. |
