Ars Acustica Group
(http://www.ebu.ch/en/radio/euroradio_classics/arsacustica/artsbirthday.php)In 2009 the Ars Acustica (AA) group is joining the international Art's Birthday Parties already for the 5th time. This year the Ars Acustica is celebrating Art’s Birthday on January 16th - the evening before the birthday. Radio artists are involved by the members of the group to focus on the saying “Safe and Sound”. In a rapidly changing and increasingly unforeseeable world, safety has become a major concern on many levels of public and private life. The double meaning of the word sound as acoustic phenomenon and as synonym for good health points to the role of the aural sense and the voice as crucial devices of human self-perception.
The Ars Acustica Group has joined the international Art’s Birthday parties in 2004. Since then it organizes the contributed contents like most of the participants of the Art’s Birthday Network (http://artsbirthday.net) do - as "presents" for ART. Via ISDN-lines and/or the Internet the contributions are collected at two points, in Vienna (ORF) and Stockholm (SR), where they are sent to the two EBU satellite channels Ravel (R) and Verdi (V). Both satellite channels (R and V) offer “ready-to-broadcast” materials along with signature-tunes and broadcast-identifications. Both channels can also be further mixed or remixed with other live-material.

“Long Winter Night Safe Burglary Sound Story“In dark times of global financial & economic crisis Art must do its best to feel “Safe and Sound”. Rising up funding in a new unexpected ways sometimes is very essential for Art (and artists) as well as finding new unusual impressive musical and sound instruments. So Dmitriy Nikolaev will try to rise up funding (real time on air) by force opening safe using following sound instruments - skeleton key, hammer, chisel, drill, disc saw and some others (not to mention here secret ones). Oleg Makarov (who is not so experienced in force opening safes but very good in sound possessing) will pick up noise into his laptop and will create beautiful harmonic sound picture of this interesting and useful process . This will happen very late (01.40 AM Moscow time) at dark, gloomy, cold, snowy, windy winter night of Arts Birthday. No public will be invited to keep the intimacy of the concert. Oleg Makarov Born in 1979 Dmitriy Nikolaev Born in 1960. Website: http://www.radiorus.ru/audio.html | |
