Sound of Vladivostok by Marios Joannou Elia

синопсис | SYNOPSIS

Основанный в 1860 году как военный пост, Владивосток стал воротами России в Азию в дальневосточном регионе и по сей день сохраняет очарование прошлых эпох. Город десятки лет оставался закрытым для посетителей и стал доступен жителям Росии и мира только в 1992 году.

Золотой мост, ставший достопримечательностью последних лет; напоминающие о советской эпохе крошечные студии музыкантов; Токаревский маяк, расположенный на краю мира, где заканчивается суша и начинается Японское море, — весь Владивосток становится сценой для музыкального спектакля, в котором слышатся голоса города.

Музыкальные и визуальные декорации Владивостока меняются от сезона к сезону, и особенно велик контраст между зимой и весной. Часть материалов для проекта собиралась в суровых погодных условиях, при температурах до −20°C. Записи сделаны в том числе на льду залива Петра Великого, на поверхности замерзшего моря.

В проекте приняли участие множество музыкантов, в том числе восемь дирижеров и 13 различных музыкальных коллективов, симфонический и духовой оркестры, ансамбли традиционных и ударных инструментов, хор, исполнитель на терменвоксе и рэпер. В музыкальные записи органично включены звуки, отражающие характер повседневной жизни города.

Founded in 1860 as a military post, Vladivostok, Russia’s gateway to Asia in the Far East, has a turn-of-the-century charm. After it had been cut off from the rest of Russia and the world for decades, to protect the Pacific Fleet, the ending of the Cold War allowed the city to open in 1992.

Ranging from the modern landmark of the city, the Zolotoy Bridge, to the tiny musician’s apartment reminiscent of Soviet era and the Tokarevsky Lighthouse at the end of the world where the land ends and the Japan Sea begins; the entire city is the scenery and the stage on which the music is performed and the city’s voice is heard.

Seasonal changes affect the acoustic and visual scenery of the city, especially from winter to spring. The project’s recordings were made in severe weather conditions of up to -20º Celsius at the frozen surface of Peter the Great Gulf and hazardous situations across the icy sea and at the prow of a moving naval vessel.

A wide variety of musicians take part, amongst others, a theremin player, a rapper, eight conductors and 13 music groups encompassing a symphony orchestra, a brass band, Russian traditional instruments, diverse percussion ensembles and choirs. In addition, recorded sounds that represent the distinctive character of the city are harmonically incorporated into the music.
