VA - Baku: Symphony of Sirens. Sound Experiments in the Russian Avant Garde (2008)

По-справжньому дивовижна робота, очолювана Мігелем Моліною Аларконом із творчої лабораторії Політехнічного університету Валенсії в Іспанії.

Baku: Symphony of Sirens – амбіційний проект реконструкції втраченого на сьогодні звукового світу російського авангарду першої половини ХХ століття. Він складається з двох компакт-дисків. На першому – реконструкції, що базуються на ретельному історичному дослідженні, а другий містить оригінальні записи.

Центральне місце в цьому збірнику, як можна припустити з назви, займає абсолютно приголомшуюча реконструкція «Симфонії гудків» Арсенія Авраамова, виконаної в Баку в 1922 році з метою відзначити п'яту річницю Жовтневої революції. Цей твір є справжньою перлиною світової експериментальної музики, і навіть наближення до оригіналу, яким є представлена реконструкція, захоплює дух. Одне з найнеординарніших явищ в історії музики.

Другий диск розпочинається десятьма композиціями із звукового фільму Дзиги Вертова 1930 року «Ентузіазм! Симфонія Донбасу», також абсолютно новаторською роботою в звуковій сфері.

Два вказаних твори складають кістяк збірника. Окрім них також представлені й інші авангардні звукові полотна, поезія футуристської спрямованості та різні артефакти радянського агітпропу. До всього цього діла додається вражаючого обсягу та інформативності англомовний буклет.

Мої найкращі рекомендації всім, кому не байдужа різна аудіоекзотика і не страшний тотальний майндфак

Рецензія з boomkat.com:

An incredible artefact from ReR, this double-disc release comes housed in a beautifully detailed book, all dedicated to the pioneers of the Russian avant-garde in the early twentieth century. The first disc captures a modern-day reconstruction of Arseni Avraamov's Symphony Of Sirens, a public sound event originally conceived in 1922, made up from factory sirens, military regiments, steam locomotives and choirs, all representing the lively sonic signature of the port city of Baku. In addition to that there are 39 short-form sound pieces, reproduced from original works by the key experimenters of the era, including Dziga Vertov and Sergei Prokofiev. The second disc is probably even better, kicking off with Dziga Vertov's Enthusiasm! The Dombass Symphony from 1930. This is an original recording by the Man With A Movie Camera director, and it's an epiphany for any fans of early electronic/noise music, featuring painstaking, laborious documents of the clamour heard in mines, factories and furnaces. Further to that, the disc rounds off with a library-like collection of shorter sound works captured around the same time, including recordings from Alexander Mosolov, Leon Trotsky, Boris Pasternak and Dmitri Shostakovitch. The accompanying book is crammed with explanatory text and photographs, making this an invaluable item for anyone with an interest in Soviet-era art and music.
