ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Edward Artemiev is a composer whose name for many people is associated with electronic ▓ªª
ªª▓ music. With unusual soundings, easily discernible in the present-day sound environment by ▓ªª
ªª▓ their abundance of nuances and unaccountable acoustic comfort. With a peculiar world of ▓ªª
ªª▓ imagery, sense of space so striking for the mind. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ A wide variety of views on Artemiev's music is pronounced, dealing with its different ▓ªª
ªª▓ aspects such as technical - "it's impossible to understand the way it's done", esthetical - ▓ªª
ªª▓ "it's infinitely beautiful", and spiritual sides - "an encounter with the truth". ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Artemiev accomplished his academic musical education at the Moscow Conservatoire in Yuri ▓ªª
ªª▓ Shaporin's class of composition. His meeting with engineer Eugene Murzin - one of the first ▓ªª
ªª▓ in the world to invent a synthesiser - sealed his fate: "Incredible prospects for creativity ▓ªª
ªª▓ were opened up by electronic music. That was a real "terra incognita". omposers had never ▓ªª
ªª▓ set foot on it in their practical activities". It happened in 1960. And in 1968 the Italian ▓ªª
ªª▓ press reported after Moscow is the venue of one of the leading centres of electronic ▓ªª
ªª▓ avant-garde" ("La Stampa", June 4th 1968). ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Nowadays Artemiev is an acknowledged leader of Russian electronic music. Many of his ▓ªª
ªª▓ experiments and discoveries have been realised in the sphere of electronic synthesis, where ▓ªª
ªª▓ he is a researcher of authority and a highly poetical master. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ The cultural trends of his time have been originally interpreted in the composer's creative ▓ªª
ªª▓ evolution, with different facets of his individuality revealed in an alternation of ▓ªª
ªª▓ stylistic orientations. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ His compositions written in the 60s-the early 70s belong to the aesthetics of avant-garde. ▓ªª
ªª▓ Thank to electronics, which enabled 'to enter a qualitatively different acoustical world, ▓ªª
ªª▓ sound colour and timbre became the field where a search for new musical laws and ▓ªª
ªª▓ relationship could be undertaken. "Sound is a palette with most subtle and lavish nuances of ▓ªª
ªª▓ colours. Electronics lends some new qualities to it: peculiar acoustical sounding, unlimited ▓ªª
ªª▓ duration, abundance of timbres". It is in electronics that Artemiev finds what most appeals ▓ªª
ªª▓ to his gift. For him the synthesiser is a possibility to compose" sound, timbre, to sculpt ▓ªª
ªª▓ it, to lend form, "colour", energy, duration. A most fascinating task for the musician with ▓ªª
ªª▓ a creator's imagination, a colourist's talent and an inventor's intuition! ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ His findings in the sphere of colouring have expanded the limits of timbre perception. In ▓ªª
ªª▓ the composition "Mosaic" (1967) "sonors" - timbres become independent means to express the ▓ªª
ªª▓ motion of sounds in space. "Mosaic" won recognition at the festivals in Florence, Venice, ▓ªª
ªª▓ Cologne, Bourges. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ "The possibility of penetrating into the microcosm of timbre, of searching in the field of ▓ªª
ªª▓ controlled-spaces creation" has been realised by Artemiev in his composition "Twelve ▓ªª
ªª▓ Glimpses on the World of Sound" (1969). Here the unique technical conception - the creation ▓ªª
ªª▓ of a series of acoustic "variations on one timbre" - symbolises the idea of the unity of ▓ªª
ªª▓ micro- and macrocosm. Artemiev compares "the space of timbre" with perspective: "Such ▓ªª
ªª▓ variations can be continued for as much time as one would like, for the given amount of ▓ªª
ªª▓ overtones (as the one present in the timbre of temirkomuz - M.K.) can be combined ▓ªª
ªª▓ indefinitely". "Mosaic" and "Twelve Glimpses" were included into LP record "Musical ▓ªª
ªª▓ Offerings" (1990) & also were published on CD "Electroshock Presents: Electroacoustic Music. ▓ªª
ªª▓ Vol. IV. Archive Tapes. Synthesiser ANS 1964- 971"on "Electroshock Records" label in 1999. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Kindred to the aesthetics of avant-garde is his incidental music for films of Andrei ▓ªª
ªª▓ Tarkovsky. The unordinary tasks set by the director required similar creative efforts on the ▓ªª
ªª▓ part of the composer. Writing the music to "Solaris", "The Mirror", "Stalker" resulted in ▓ªª
ªª▓ serious experiments in electronics and the specific sphere of audio-video contact. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ From the mid-70s Artemiev's style underwent a change in the direction of "new simplicity". ▓ªª
ªª▓ The dialogue between the academic tradition and rock-aesthetics tended to meet other, "more ▓ªª
ªª▓ global tasks: to assimilate the styles, genres . Resonant with those tasks was also his ▓ªª
ªª▓ desire to try his hand at an openly emotional, intuitive self-expression. "Polychromaticism ▓ªª
ªª▓ of timbre" still preserved its significance for the composer, however, the traditional ▓ªª
ªª▓ elements of writing were more actively introduced, accompanied with a new sense of melody, ▓ªª
ªª▓ rhythm, harmony. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Those creative aspirations of his were embodied, though differently, in a number of ▓ªª
ªª▓ compositions. Declaratively, in his cantata "Ode to Herald of Good" to the text of Pierre de ▓ªª
ªª▓ Coubertin, written for the Olympic Games in Moscow decided to take the road not of a ▓ªª
ªª▓ synthesis, but of a "symbiosis" of all expressive means at my disposal, and to write each ▓ªª
ªª▓ movement of the cantata in a special technique and in different genres, with electronics' ▓ªª
ªª▓ expressive possibilities as a unifving pivot"(the author's annotation to the phonograph ▓ªª
ªª▓ record of "Ode" ("Ritual"). ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ In a variety of proportions and combinations the synthesis of "musics" was realised in his ▓ªª
ªª▓ quasi-symphonies "The Seven Gates into the World of Satori" and "Peregrini", in the poems to ▓ªª
ªª▓ Lithuanian texts "White Dove", "Summer", "Vision", in the music for the films "Sibiriada", ▓ªª
ªª▓ "Fox Hunting", "The End of Eternity", "Moon Rainbow", in the cantata "The Warmth of the ▓ªª
ªª▓ Earth", in the opera "Crime and Punishment" based on F. Dostoyevsky's novel. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ There is a new quality perceptible in the works written in the late 80s: a blending of the ▓ªª
ªª▓ democratic aspirations inherited from the aesthetics of the 70s with the ideas of ▓ªª
ªª▓ avant-garde, of the rational with the intuitive. Here first mention should be made of his ▓ªª
ªª▓ nostalgic cycle based on the music of Tarkovsky's films "Solaris", "The Mirror", "Stalker" ▓ªª
ªª▓ (1989). ▓ªª

ªª▓ An international response has been gained by another work of the composer - "Three Glimpses ▓ªª
ªª▓ on the Revolution" written for the Bicentennial of the French Revolution and commissioned ▓ªª
ªª▓ from the organisers of the Electronic Music Festival in Bourges (1989). The review in the ▓ªª
ªª▓ Portuguese newspaper Diario de Lisboa" ran: "... the work "Three Glimpses on the Revolution" ▓ªª
ªª▓ by Russian composer Edward Artemiev has become a real discovery: his powerful music built ▓ªª
ªª▓ with great skill is remarkable for outstanding accomplishment. This is a work of typically ▓ªª
ªª▓ Russian composer brought up in the traditions of Mussorgsky, Stravinsky, Shostakovichà This ▓ªª
ªª▓ is a music of great epical might and undoubted expression" (from Jorge Peixinho's article ▓ªª
ªª▓ "Synthesis" and "the French Revolution", October 27th 1989). ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ A good deal of interesting music has been created by Artemiev for the cinema. He is one of ▓ªª
ªª▓ the most acknowledged masters of film music. Film directors are hopeful of success if ▓ªª
ªª▓ Artemiev is involved in the film. The composer's name on the poster or advertising ▓ªª
ªª▓ announcement is a lure attracting cinema-goers. It is not a surprise that phonograph records ▓ªª
ªª▓ containing his film music, in particular, the disc "Mood-Pictures" with fragments from ▓ªª
ªª▓ several of his film scores & double CD "Music to Films of Nikita Mikhalkov" enjoy such ▓ªª
ªª▓ popularity. Abroad there is a growing interest in Artemiev's film music. In France a record ▓ªª
ªª▓ had been issued with his music to Andrei Konchalovsky's serial "Sibiriada". A compact disc ▓ªª
ªª▓ has been released in the Netherlands containing his voluminous electronic cycle based on his ▓ªª
ªª▓ music to Andrei Tarkovsky's films and also including the composition "Ocean" written in ▓ªª
ªª▓ memory of the late film director (1989). This particular CD was re- issued by "Electroshock ▓ªª
ªª▓ Records" in 1999. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Over 140 "scores for sound" created by him for the cinema impress with a diversity of ▓ªª
ªª▓ themes, plots, genres and heterogeneity of artistic tasks, no matter whether they are solved ▓ªª
ªª▓ by means of electronics or symphony orchestra. If necessary, the composer makes use of ▓ªª
ªª▓ samplers, or acoustical instruments, or orchestra. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ In creative communion much depends upon Artemiev's individuality as a composer. That was the ▓ªª
ªª▓ way he collaborated with Nikita Mikhalkov when working on all the films and the stage ▓ªª
ªª▓ production of "An Unfinished Piece for Mechanical Piano" at Teatro di Roma: "When I first ▓ªª
ªª▓ heard his music", recollected N. Mikhalkov, "the thing that most appealed to me was its ▓ªª
ªª▓ wonderful melodiousness,.. At the same time the composer has a staggering sense of style". ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ "Artemiev has a wonderful sense of the screen", notes Vadim Abdrashitov. "He never writes ▓ªª
ªª▓ illustrative music. His music is a counterpoint to the image, adding to and revealing the ▓ªª
ªª▓ inner meaning of the sequence. He can cope with any most sophisticated task. I'm sure that ▓ªª
ªª▓ his potentialities have not been fully realised so far". His music for the film "Fox ▓ªª
ªª▓ Hunting" has been included into the first cycle of "Mood-Pictures". ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ "You ask why I invited Artemiev to work at the film "Homer and Eddie", reflected Andrei ▓ªª
ªª▓ Konchalovsky. "Of course, first of all because he is a gifted man and I feel easy with him". ▓ªª
ªª▓ The collaboration, which originated in the film "Sibiriada", in the opera "Crime and ▓ªª
ªª▓ Punishment" (its stage conception belonging to Konchalovsky), has been going on at the stage ▓ªª
ªª▓ of Theatre de l'Odeon in Paris in A. Chekhov's "Seagull", in the Hollywood studios, in the ▓ªª
ªª▓ films "Duet for One", where "Credo" from Artemiev's electronic Requiem is sounding, and ▓ªª
ªª▓ "Homer and Eddie" (1988). ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Artemiev's music appealed to Andrei Tarkovsky with its audiovisuality, spatiality, with his ▓ªª
ªª▓ ability to conceive intricate associative turns, to create generalised symbols-images. ▓ªª
ªª▓ Artemiev contributed to three films of Tarkovsky, as well as to the stage production of ▓ªª
ªª▓ "Hamlet" undertaken by Tarkovsky in Moscow in the 70s. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Feeling of ensemble is a valuable quality in a composer working in the cinema. Artemiev is ▓ªª
ªª▓ fond of and knows how to create ensemble. His subtle understanding of the director's ▓ªª
ªª▓ cinematographic language, manner and style is both his experience and his special gift. "The ▓ªª
ªª▓ sequence on the screen has a miraculous effect on me. I'm always patiently waiting for ▓ªª
ªª▓ whatever will be shown me by the director, and then his style, language, his imagery of ▓ªª
ªª▓ thinking will evoke a response in me". ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Following his path in the cinema, the composer encounters different historical styles. The ▓ªª
ªª▓ traditions of 19th-century dramatic-lyrical symphonies may be discerned in this music for ▓ªª
ªª▓ the film "Gobseck", while the lofty spiritualness of baroque has been achieved in the ▓ªª
ªª▓ "old-style" music for Stradivari instruments ("A Visit to Minotaur"). A charmingly sensitive ▓ªª
ªª▓ interpretation in retro style has been found for the film "The Love Slave". A European tune ▓ªª
ªª▓ of the 15th century, arranged in the manner and sounding typical of Dzen Buddhists ▓ªª
ªª▓ meditations, signifies the sophisticated interlacement of the cultures of the Orient and the ▓ªª
ªª▓ West ("Stalker"). ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Usually it is the collaboration of the composer and the engineer that yields serious ▓ªª
ªª▓ achievements in electronic and computer music. As for Artemiev, his amazing "technological ▓ªª
ªª▓ versatility" makes it possible to combine them in a single person. He is the author of the ▓ªª
ªª▓ composition and a programmer and also the man to find a technical realisation for his ▓ªª
ªª▓ musical ideas. In addition, he is a performing artist and a sound producer. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Long periods of reclusion at his studio where Artemiev creates his compositions alternate ▓ªª
ªª▓ with trips to electronic music festivals - to Baltimore to attend "Res musica" International ▓ªª
ªª▓ Electroacoustic Music Festival, to Bourges to take part in "Synthese" Festival International ▓ªª
ªª▓ de Musique Experimentale de Bourges, to recording companies or film studios, as well as to ▓ªª
ªª▓ take part in the activities of the International Confederation of Electroacoustic Music ▓ªª
ªª▓ (ICEM), UNESCO. Russian Association for Electroacoustic Music of which Edward Artemiev is ▓ªª
ªª▓ President is comprised as a national section into this International infrastruction. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Urga is a 1991 film by Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov. It is released in North America as ▓ªª
ªª▓ Close to Eden. It depicts the friendship between a Russian truck driver and a Mongolian ▓ªª
ªª▓ shepherd in Inner Mongolia. The film was an international co-production between companies ▓ªª
ªª▓ based in Russia and France. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ The Mongolian shepherd Gombo lives in a yurt in Inner Mongolia with his wife, three ▓ªª
ªª▓ children, and mother. They are content with their uncomplicated rural lives but Gombo wants ▓ªª
ªª▓ his city born wife to bear a fourth child. A Russian truck driver named Sergei is stranded ▓ªª
ªª▓ nearby, and finds his way to their house, where he and Gombo become friends despite their ▓ªª
ªª▓ language and cultural differences. Gombo and Sergei go into the nearest city together, where ▓ªª
ªª▓ Gombo buys a television set and attempts to buy contraceptives, but decides not to when he ▓ªª
ªª▓ realizes everyone at the drugstore is a woman. Sergei, a former army bandsman, sings "Hills ▓ªª
ªª▓ of Manchuria" in a nightclub, as the band plays from the sheet music tattooed on his back. ▓ªª
ªª▓ He is arrested and then bailed out of jail by Gombo. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Gombo returns home, and along the way stops and takes a nap. He has a strange dream ▓ªª
ªª▓ featuring his drunken, horse riding relative as Genghis Khan and his wife as Ghenghis Khan's ▓ªª
ªª▓ wife. In the dream both he and Sergei are captured and killed. Gombo wakes and arrives home, ▓ªª
ªª▓ with the television, and he and his family watch alternately the President of America ▓ªª
ªª▓ speaking and a badly sung variety show. Gombo and his wife go into the fields, bringing the ▓ªª
ªª▓ Urga (a long stick with a lasso on the end used to capture animals) which is then stuck into ▓ªª
ªª▓ the ground far away in the fields, a signal that a couple is being intimate. A voice over ▓ªª
ªª▓ from Gombo's fourth son concludes the film with the image of a chimney belching smoke into ▓ªª
ªª▓ the air in the place where Gombo's Urga was once placed. ▓ªª
ªª▓ ▓ªª
ªª▓ Urga won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and Best European Film at the European ▓ªª
ªª▓ Film Awards. It was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, and for a ▓ªª
ªª▓ Golden Globe in the same category. ▓ªª
