Detail
We cast Magical Unicellular Music into ourselves in order to break the habit of consuming impressions and information. To try, at least for a while, to hold being within ourselves, to simply be for a while. The meaning of Unicellular Music lies in the repetition of the same thing, in the tireless return to the beginning. This requires the performer to eliminate their ambitions for self-expression. The Magic of Unicellular Music may happen when the musician stops functioning as an author and allows the music itself the opportunity to manifest its magic. What are we sabotaging? Ourselves.
Основой музыки является простая ритмическая фраза минимальной протяженности, дающая ощущение почвы под ногами. Начинаем в одном русле, добиваясь монолитного вибрирующего звучания, так, как будто звучит один инструмент. Принцип игры: Чем незаметнее в общем звучании, те лучше. Ансамбль должен звучать едино, как машинка.
Frank Hamilton Cushing claimed that people from the Zuni tribe, which he studied for many years, were able to think with their hands separately (A Study of the Influence of Hand Usage on Culture Growth. 1892). In our practice, we try to go down two steps in evolution and try to present music for individual elements of our bodies: arms, spinal cord, and bone marrow, neurons as a free community of cells. This will require us to discipline and reject human habits of imagery, text, and expressiveness. This will require us to abandon our ambitions to be musicians and artists, and simply to reproduce a musical phenomenon without a human component.
Мы достигли, очевидно, уровня. Наш гитарный альбом Sabotage был отклонен для дистрибуции на стриминги. Аггрегатор Routenote просто его стер молча, решив что это не музыка и не альбом. Отлично, давно искали повод уйти со стримингов.
