The interaction between computer science technology and freeform musical
creative process becomes a central point in this international
collaboration of three artists from Belarus and USA. The abstract
soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic phenomena and
electronic effects, it's going to infinity and never repeat itself. The
finest harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive
simulation, realised through the system of computer-aided instruments.
Andrey Savitsky (Minsk, Belarus) - graphic designer and composer, whose
main attitude is searching for new aesthetical forms and exploring
computer-controlled sound and visual communications. Since 1990, he
studied photography and had exhibitions in Netherlands, USA and Poland. In
the meantime, he developed videoart works for various music performances,
and got interested in experiments with sound and graphic design. In 2000,
he found personal project h.h.t.p. also as the label for all related audio
production. Four limited edition albums were released: "Forming",
"Tragmatics", "Wave Weavers" and "Pljonka Mira". The music is very
different, from structured noisescapes and glitchy ambient to strange
ethnic songs with software-aided voices, implementation of dub,
drum-n-bass, rhythm-n-blues and hip-hop styles is also prominent.. Apart
from his musical efforts, he continue with interactive multimedia
projects, amongst others - "Webology" videoprojection and "Trashback"
videoinstallation. He also performed in such festivals as Unsound
(Poland), Microstraava (Latvia), Elka.Mnsk (Belarus).
Dmitry Gelfand (New Yourk, USA) - visual artist and composer. Inside of
the group of artists "Poratablepalace", he creates interdisciplinary art
works which integrate chemi-physical experimentation with optics and
computer science. Their central interest is the propagation of information
by means of wave phenomena: electro-magnetic (light, radiation etc.) and
isomorphic (sound) wave forms. Dmitry Gelfand graduated from NYU Film
School and studied musical composition with Timothy Vincent Clark, a
disciple of Olivier Messiaen. During 1998-1999, Portablepalace curated the
"Psycho-Acoustic" series of electronic and computer music in New York,
including collaborations with Morton Subotnik and Taylor Deupree. Also,
among their credits is the postproduction for a 35mm film "Radioman" that
won a Gold Prize at the Prix Leonardo Festival in Italy and intended to be
released by Mille Plateaux. They shot, edited, and realized the computer
animation and sound design for the video piece of Osvaldo Romberg's opera
installation "Besame Mucho", which is being exhibited presently within the
Media Series at White Box. Their other collaborations include work with
Russian conceptual artist Sergei Bugaev, known as Afrika. Most recent
events includes "Camera Lucida" in Russia, USA and Germany, and "Opening
Coccyx" at Die Schachtel, Milan, Italy (with Richard Chartier).
