"I do not hear the documented experiment, I do not hear the report on the work done. This record does not force me to think about the role of technology in our life, art ... marketing. This is real, alive music, where something is inside, and if you listen carefully to it, this "something" will settle and continue to live. The album materializes the absent until now, the cassette or files are only a vessel for these organisms, striving through the ears into the listener's consciousness. Just to be alive. I like it so much. Sounds created with the help of a non-human, in the language of an another, composed by the mind of people. I like not thinking about technology as an instrument, instead thinking about music as such. Sometimes it seems that we are an organ projection of music, that one of the meanings of "this all" is its carrying and birth. Music is just some kind of organism, without a shell, the idea of an organism that needs the physical world in order to live, which means hands, air, pressure. And even the code. Cassette tape, label, positive film plastic frames and film itself, writing and ballpoint pens. And also chance meetings, equipment for sound recording, magnetic tape and, most importantly, it's someone's ears, only after getting into which, this organism begins to live. <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/85a77d28f08ce233f1de493383c914d215d39712ba267e4e401234cffcae793a/IMG_2351.jpeg" data-mid="124229502" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/85a77d28f08ce233f1de493383c914d215d39712ba267e4e401234cffcae793a/IMG_2351.jpeg" />// Code of Art, The first International &nbsp; Biennale 'Art for the Future', GROUND Solyanka Gallery, Moscow, 2022// Boiler Room, Moscow, Russia, 2021// ALGORAVE Goethe-Institut, Moscow, 2020// GAMMA_lab AI, Saint-Petersburg, 2019// Internet of Animals, Moscow, 2019 // released on CANT records, 2021 <img width="960" height="1280" width_o="960" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/588934130b633bf834886d14df7ab3b4097b226c8d38d8600434bf56dc4f645e/2021-11-08-16.21.06.jpg" data-mid="124229500" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/588934130b633bf834886d14df7ab3b4097b226c8d38d8600434bf56dc4f645e/2021-11-08-16.21.06.jpg" /> all music is written and performed bylovozero + monekeer https://lovozero.cloud/you-me-and-all-these-machines Sun, 15 Sep 2019 18:12:14 +0000 lovozero https://lovozero.cloud/you-me-and-all-these-machines you, me, and all these machines <img width="1340" height="895" width_o="1340" height_o="895" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a273ca1a4ede4330b02f2cd9f34b95f30d790977be5ef3865afeb38fe50263c/3_1340_c.jpg" data-mid="50646223" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a273ca1a4ede4330b02f2cd9f34b95f30d790977be5ef3865afeb38fe50263c/3_1340_c.jpg" /> “you, me and all these machines” is a performance for voice and electronic devices. the vocalist puts on her head a specially designed wearable interface tool to interact with the voice and display a visual score. technically, the device consists of several elements: a narrowly directional microphone driven by a motor; an LED strip that shows the vocalist score; remote control with a joystick used by the second participant to control the interface. Shifting the microphone against the mouth makes it possible to achieve interesting sound effects, and makes it easier to manipulate the vocalist's voice. the LED line consisting of 10 diodes is a very primitive, but effective and convenient way of interacting with the vocalist, and the way of interpreting the values is predetermined before each performance. during the performance, a sound canvas is formed, thereby changing the dynamics, consisting of a set of looped fragments created within voice and interface processing elements, without using other methods to generate sounds. initially, the project was built around the idea of using the body and its capabilities as a starting point or even a resource for later use in a hybrid work. however, the idea was subsequently transformed into a more subtle practice of interaction between two artists, using an electronic device and sound performance as its direct consequence. at the same time, the idea of domination and manipulation was replaced by sensitive interaction, and the "resource" became more and more a source of inspiration. in many ways, the work can be described as a way of interpreting complexities in the relations between a couple, and the displacement of these complexities to the domain of creative interaction. https://lovozero.cloud/netto Sun, 15 Sep 2019 18:14:50 +0000 lovozero https://lovozero.cloud/netto netto <img width="3664" height="2443" width_o="3664" height_o="2443" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1f0d176002f29010be295bd4a482c7a066d87e5f6b80280359e954978b013d31/922A9355.jpg" data-mid="50646440" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1f0d176002f29010be295bd4a482c7a066d87e5f6b80280359e954978b013d31/922A9355.jpg" /> weighing-machine is the oldest device for determining the parameters of an object and its value. markets take a variety of forms around the world and are quite informative markers of ongoing socio-cultural processes.I see the market as a complex heterogeneous environment (organism), a place of intersection of financial flows, stories of human migration and alienation, cultures of life and production. I call into question the boundaries of the objects of sale usually expressed only in monetary units. through meetings, and interviews with the market workers I collect various information, which gives me cues for converting the mass of the product they sell into sound parameters. declaring this synthesis as a “pure” value, I create an opportunity for its sound manifestation in the market space by converting the critical mass of the products into an algorithmic sound composition created in inherent in the market competitive gaming conditions where communications are sporadic and unstable like local Wi-Fi. technical description: self-made weighing-machine(4 devices), pure data algorithm //V-A-C foundation, kunsthalle for music, cheremushkinsky market, 2019 https://lovozero.cloud/descend Sun, 15 Sep 2019 18:19:10 +0000 lovozero https://lovozero.cloud/descend descend <img width="1080" height="640" width_o="1080" height_o="640" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/311af8a686f58f7546da86d0d21cc7542efffbcee4abf2865a5990a870d23c40/photo5226654786538023916.jpg" data-mid="50646827" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/311af8a686f58f7546da86d0d21cc7542efffbcee4abf2865a5990a870d23c40/photo5226654786538023916.jpg" /> the last «tissue», which is shaped in the process of embryo development is bone. making one's consciousness in humility with the density, resistance and structural verticality of one’s «bone-ness», we speculatively attain the capacity to turn its «development» back. through the kinaesthetic sense of density we descend towards viscosity and fluctuation, in the world of the plurality of axis, towards eternal horizon. dancers performing in their movement the logic of return of body «un-certainty», pave in the multilevel space «Mutabor» hall spontaneously defined routes. they share the space with objects of complex nature (silicon, concrete, aluminum) and the realtime soundscape made up of textures of akin quality to movement. the spectator finds oneself inside those multiple layers, in the density of the sound, awkward dynamics of dancers bodies and objects, where one may observe mergers and deviations of inhuman intensity and logic. lovozero + anya kravchenko + masha kharitonova // mutabor, “tkani”, moscow, 2019 Descend by Lovozero // sound documentation released on the Klammklang label, 2020 https://lovozero.cloud/uncomfortable-positions Sun, 05 Jan 2025 16:07:22 +0000 lovozero https://lovozero.cloud/uncomfortable-positions uncomfortable positions <img width="4096" height="4096" width_o="4096" height_o="4096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/304e747372d56c26106fa051679da7322155973405e9a0f52d2dac45f221600d/LVZR0003_5.png" data-mid="224175137" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/304e747372d56c26106fa051679da7322155973405e9a0f52d2dac45f221600d/LVZR0003_5.png" />uncanny songs rising through the fractures of physicality. the material was written in 2020 Uncomfortable Positions by Lovozero artwork by Rona Peshekhonova released 23.05.2024 https://lovozero.cloud/encampment Fri, 06 Jan 2023 10:46:31 +0000 lovozero https://lovozero.cloud/encampment encampment discussions and practices <img width="5616" height="3745" width_o="5616" height_o="3745" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/68961f10e66f44c7601c2da37bc0e820aee637a3d4a7ecc3d8c6943f2823f857/IMG_8387.jpg" data-mid="163761662" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/68961f10e66f44c7601c2da37bc0e820aee637a3d4a7ecc3d8c6943f2823f857/IMG_8387.jpg" /> in 2019, together with Anya Kravchenko and the "Tkani" project, we created two performances, "Descend" and "And Those Unwelcomed," at the Mutabor. both works dedicated to the dynamics of human matter, mutations, and other processes excluded from rationalised everyday attention. continuing this research in the studio of the Vladimir Smirnov and Konstantin Sorokin Foundation, we organased the encampment. it became a place where anyone could observe and discuss the practices we developed. each day, we welcomed guests for three hours, divided into one-and-a-half-hour sessions: (1) conversation and (2) meditation. дискуссии и практики. в 2019 мы с Аней Кравченко и проектом “Ткани” создали два перформанса “нисхождение” (descend) и “и прочие неугодные нам” (and those unwelcomed) на площадке ночного клуба mutabor. обе работы обращались к динамике человеческой материи, мутациям и прочим процессам, исключенным из рационализированного обыденного внимания.&nbsp;
