Russian Sound Art Showcase (RSAS) – show is entitled “ZVUKI VZLOMA” (eng. “The Sound of Hack”). On the first stages of it’s forming – the SA))-community had a distinctive attraction to the aesthetic of “d-i-y” and “music hacking”. So historically, a lot of young Russian sound artist’s practice was derived from this approach. From pirated software to self-developed interfaces and instruments then evolutionary raised into interactive installations and more. Including educational activities, stimulating next generations to learn coding and electronics. You will listen to the works of artists, who started their way more than 20 years ago, and were a vital part of Theremin Center for Electroacoustic Music of Moscow State Conservatory, as well as works of the last generation of Russian sound explorers, who has just graduated from the course at Moscow Sound Art Studio (SA))_studio).
The topic of the show is also a satire on a narrative of Russian hacking and meddling with American technical and social systems. Come to the space of RSAS and let yourself be hacked with sound. We mean it.

Curator: Sergey Kasich

The Showcase is organized in partnership with Eleventh Festival of Experimental Sound Podgotovlenniye Sredy 2019.
