about

"Winter in Saint Petersburg presents a sound art work with field recordings collected in Saint Petersburg. The half-hour composition begins with echoes of the anthem of the Russian Empire "God Save the Tsar" played on a trumpet by a street musician near the Palace Square. Next, the listener begins a journey along Gorokhovaya Street, one of the central rays on the city map, the middle of the three central highways of St. Petersburg, fanning out from the Admiralty and closing in a triangle with Sadovaya Street. The sound of the streets fades at the intersection with Sadovaya Street, where the ephemeral traveler plunges into the metro on Sennaya Square, contemplating the labyrinths of echoes. The sound space gradually changes and draws the listener into the subway cars, plunging into the tides of noise on the way to infinity. At some point, it seems that a single ray of light breaks through the dark haze of underground highways and there is a splash of accumulated states that turns into catharsis. In the final part of the composition, the train comes out of the tunnel as an echo of the past, lost in the depths of consciousness. The listener goes through a quiet place to the light, waking up in the bright catholic church of St. Catherine on Nevsky street. A quiet space filled remotely with the sounds of the city outside the church walls. Gradually, sound interpretations dissolve doubts and bring sharp focus to space, illuminating with warm tides of atonal sounds of the strings and organ. Calm, acceptance, looking to the future, sound pray... " ~ Ilia Symphocat

"Winter in Saint Petersburg представляет звуковую арт работу с полевыми записями, собранными в культурной столице России, Санкт-Петербурге. Получасовая композиция начинается с отголосков гимна Российской Империи "Боже Царя Храни" сыгранной на трубе уличным музыкантом неподалеку от Дворцовой площади. Далее слушатель начинает путешествие по Гороховой улице, одного из центральных лучей на карте города, средняя из трёх центральных магистралей Петербурга, расходящихся веером от Адмиралтейства и замыкаясь в треугольник улицей Садовая. Звук улиц стихает на пересечении с улицей Садовой, где эфемерный путешественник погружается в метро на Сенной площади, созерцая лабиринты отзвуков. Звуковое пространство постепенно изменяется и увлекает слушателя в вагон метро, погружая в приливы нойза на пути в бесконечность. В какой то момент кажется, что одинокий луч света продирает темную мглу подземных каналов, происходит выплеск накопленных состояний переходящий в катарсис. В завершающей части композиции, поезд выходит из тоннеля оказываясь отголоском прошлого, потерянного в недрах сознания. Слушатель через тихую мизансцену выходит к свету, просыпаясь в светлой католической церкви Святой Екатерины на Невском проспекте. Тихое пространство отдаленно наполняемое звуками города за стенами церкви. Постепенно звуковые интерпретации растворяют сомнения и наводят резкие фокусы на пространства вокруг, озаряя теплыми, атональными приливами струнных и органа. Спокойствие, принятие, взор в будущее, звуковая молитва..." ~ Илья Symphocat
