⚡️ May 29, 7 pm – VERE MUSIC HUB (Kyiv, Malopidvalna St., 21/8). Registration of listeners: https://forms.gle/PjEYpR657PV14HVq9.
The project is dedicated to the work of David Lynch and, in general, to the tradition of combining the rational and the irrational in creativity, thinking, and worldview. Familiar objects, situations, and clichés are subtly transformed if one looks at them with a careful and fresh eye.
The project’s video is based on allusions to David Lynch’s canonical footage, and the music is based on art rock, free jazz, intuitive improvisation, and neo-folk. In addition to the instrumental component, there will be a vocal component based on the texts of avant-garde English and Ukrainian poets.
