Press – Vladimir Gorlinsky

Modern academic music is very complex: why should you listen to it?

At the beginning of your acquaintance with new music, its canvas may seem like a patchwork blanket with holes in places, but if you look closely, the most complex patterns appear. All sorts of guidebooks will help with this practice. Not literary, but genuine in the context of the question - musical. The piece “Follow the light. Journey through the ensemble”, the young composer Vladimir Gorlinsky composed for the “Studio of New Music” festival. The score turns into a magnifying glass and is “walked through” the capabilities of an ensemble of first-class soloists. The first part of the work is......

Sound art: how to expose sound

"In the interdisciplinary field of art at the intersection of technology and music, sound art is only a part that allows you to actively experiment and get an unpredictable experience of listening and hearing. Composer and author of spatial plays Vladimir Gorlinsky explain the experience of interacting with a piece of music by the state of "meta-transition": "When the viewer (listener) is inside the space of the play (musical work), there is no longer a division into "here I am sitting in the hall or at home and listening, and the performer is somewhere on the stage," in this case,......

The music for the assembly hall (“After (Post)”, premiere)

One of the last musical events of the past year was the world premiere of the composition "After" (Post) by Vladimir Gorlinsky. The new piece turned out to be both daring and traditional. Gorlinsky's work was commissioned by the V-A-C Foundation, which gratifyingly joined the narrow circle of domestic institutions that issue orders to contemporary Russian composers. No less important is the fact that the premiere took place at the GES-2 House of Culture, a site that opened a little over a year ago and seemed to have been created for the sake of such projects. The assembly hall of......

Vector of the composers (“Terracotta”, premiere)

AKSENOV FAMILY FOUNDATION PRESENTED THE SECOND SEASON OF THE RUSSIAN MUSIC 2.1 PROJECT The concert of the laureates took place at the Moscow Philharmonic, which acted as a partner in this creative initiative. Four laureates created pieces for the symphony orchestra - musicians presented their works in the first part. Chamber music completed the concert program. The project attracted the attention of many music critics. We publish the opinions of three of them. The strongest are coming. Our composers have never given such a huge orchestra. One hundred and five people throughout the department played new works, even commissioned ones.......

Tchaikovsky Grant (“Terracotta”, premiere)

Eight world premieres of Russian Music 2.1 at the Moscow Philharmonic The Tchaikovsky Concert Hall hosted a concert of the laureates of the Russian Music 2.1 program, a joint project of the Aksenov Family Foundation, the Moscow Philharmonic, and the Moscow Museum of Modern Art.

Epicurity and grunting (“Bramputapsel #1”, performance in Perm)

... ... ... Vladimir Gorlinsky, «Bramputapsel No1» Bramputapsels by Vladimir Gorlinsky are abstract fairy-tale creatures. In reality, the listener watches as Natalya Pshenichnikova, a virtuoso of unconventional performing techniques whose extreme vocals have adorned many famous projects in Perm, from Russian Poor to Nosferatu, takes a microphone and starts throwing clicks, hisses, and whistles into space. It is a stream of various voice and articulation techniques, a carnival of sound production consistent with the creative and scientific interests of Gorlinsky. But as soon as the image is declared, we will take the opportunity to develop it. First, the bramputapsel rolls......

A lesson in impertinence from Russia (“Ultimate Granular Paradise”, performance on Venice Biennale)

"... A completely different life pulsates in the music of Russian composers - Olga Bochikhina, Alexei Syumak, Nikolai Khrust (all of them a little over twenty years old), as well as older Faraj Karaev and Vladimir Tarnopolsky"... A striking, original Ultimate granular paradise for the ensemble and electronics of a twenty-seven-year-old Vladimir Gorlinsky is perhaps the most original piece in the entire Venetian program: it is a kind of experience in giving spatial form and rhythmic dimension to all types of noise. Wonderful!.. This program was presented at the Biennale by the Moscow ensemble "Studio for New Music" conducted by......

The sleep of the mind birth music (“Ultimate granular paradise”, Premiere)

"This year, the artistic director of games, Boris Filanovsky, came up with tricky themes for composers: "Futurological Congress. eNsemble to the future" and "A dream of mind. The eNsemble creates monsters." The theme allows you to orient the "electorate" of listeners in outlandish acoustic abstractions, which they are treated to. Vladimir Gorlinsky from Moscw won the "Congress" with his piece "Ultimate Granular Paradise". The author here dealt with the psychotropic effect of the total media field, which, not today or tomorrow, "finally granulates" the world, turning it into an ominous hyper-information hell "with endless euphoria, with media doping of feelings......
