Internationale Kunstmesse ARTVILLE 2008
Sasha Pushkin - piano solo "Artville Exprovisation nr.1" (playing to unknown art)
".... Das Konzept dieses Konzertes ist, dass für die Zuschauer eine „Exprovisation“ entsteht, die von einem Kunstwerk inspiriert wird. Das Bild wird kurz vor Konzertbeginn aus der Ausstellung ausgewählt. Der Pianist, genau wie das Publikum wird das Bild erst während des Konzerts betrachten. Das heisst, die Komposition entsteht spontan zwischen Musiker und Kunstwerk. Er übersetzt das gemalte Motiv in musikalisches Material. Diese ungewöhnliche Verbindung schafft einen Raum der intensiven Betrachtung. Das Bild wird zum Notenblatt für spontanes Komponieren. Der improvisierende Musiker wird zum Medium zwischen den Künsten - bildende Kunst und Musik verschmelzen. ...."

".... Eine Sängerin aus Tuva und ein Pianist aus St.
Petersburg trafen sich das erste Mal Anfang der
neunziger Jahre in Berlin. Erst nach 10 Jahren kamen
sie auf musikalischer Ebene zusammen und haben das Duo
- Projekt gestartet.
Die Musik dieses ungewöhnlichen Duos sucht nach neuen Klangsphären durch das Improvisationsgespräch.
Basierend auf traditionellen, fast schamanisch - archaischen Spuren
findet diese Musik jedes Mal eine eigene Farbe. Die authentischen
und melodischen Songformen der Berge und der Steppe dürfen sich jederzeit
ins hyper-urbane Klangchaos verwandeln.
Uralte und Ultramoderne gehören heute zusammen.
War es nicht immer so? ......"

Sa. 12. April 2008, 16:00 Uhr im Kino Babylon, Berlin-Mitte (Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz)
Sasha Pushkin took part on creating music for this film. It was a work with symphonic orchestra sounds, with some special audio effects and percussive – noisy rhythms…
Short info (in German):
Man nehme drei Freunde, einen Maler und eine Schauspielerin und bringe sie auf eine einfache Almhütte in den österreichischen Alpen. 12 Tage lang nur kaltes Quellwasser, hin und wieder einen Schluck Berggeist und den allmächtigen Gipfel immer im Blick.
Das Ergebnis: der Film UND EWIG RUFT DER BERG
mit STEFANIE GRABNER und VOLKER NIKEL

Sasha Pushkin on Myspace and…
Many people asked for it.
Now it´s there. Still something to do there.
Don´t know if I´ll be able to update it regularly.
Didn´t invite any friends yet... may be one day.
But check it out and join in, if you want to.
After our live music session, when I talked to Laptoper Tomoki, he sad:
“ you are on Myspace and didn´t invite any friends?”
I sad: “yes”
He laughed and laughed…. And then he sad:
“I want to go to St. Petersburg, I never was in Russia”
I sad: “ Tomoki, I also never was in Japan and I want to go there.
So, lets make a tour in Russia and Japan… I even have an idea of a project…
Tomoki smiled… I ask myself now: What did this smile mean?
A smile of Japanese Electronic music freak. Anyway, thank you Tomoki
for a “sigy”. One day I´ll quit.
Sasha on Youtube
Here we are…
The same story as Myspace....
There are many videos to add... And many friends to invite…
Will take some time.... Join in, if you like…
For now there´s only one video from "Krieg der Sprachen" Festival.
About this video:
Concept by Chrsiatian Kersten:
STILLE POST | CHINESE WHISPER
A song wanders through musicians of different kinds.
Two people meet, the one teaches a song to the other. The other makes
his/her own version and teaches it to the next. But there is the rule,
that for teaching you have only 20 min. and for making the own version
only 40 min. The song wanders through 10 different musicians, through
10 different languages.
In the concert all 10 versions are presented and the listeners can follow
the development and change of the song. With Meteor Motel, Andrew Smith,
Volker Schindel, spiel mal feat. keller.kind, 19/19, Bill Dietz, Kati
Linek, Hans-Ulrich Altenkirch and Sasha Pushkin! Sasha was the last to
perform.
Video by Johnny Chang ( thanx! )
Film Music
I started to work on "Hollywood archaeology" – an experimental film
by Lowell Darling...
Very interesting kind of creative process... I´m using original
noises & sounds of the films, cutting, stretching them, and mix it
up with my own noises and rhythms…and compose music, using different
sound sources… We are not on hurry.. and this is good so….
New concept for a concert
Checked an old and a little broken organ in the modern Church:
Litzow Kirche – Berlin. Great sound!
The idea is to make an Organ concert, in collaboration with Mr. MRTZ –
a great Light Artist...
This will be my first real acoustic improvised organ concert.
Had a session
On the 4th of April In RAW Tempel - Club was a 10 Years Jubilee of Didges
Brew group....
Came there... full of people… many musicians on stage... great fun...
funky world music..
They call it didgeridoo big beat. Didgeridoos, drums, DJ, Electronic,
percussion, guitar, keys, brass etc.. Special guests… Fanfara Kalashnikov
group with there Balkan Groove..
Got a mike to sing... I love it! Dance... sing... rap...move to the groove...
Thank you Marc and Tayfun for the invitation…thank you, public!
New concepts:
Checked some locations in Berlin for the new project in the “Piano collaborations” field…
And also some possibly good places and films for our new silent film music project…
As always – it will take some time…
New website adds:
