Yuri Akbalkan, 5.1.1_40 for seven sine waves and video
5.1.1:40 for five analogue monophonic tone generators, a stereo digital tone generator, and video
This is a new 40-minute version of a composition originally created to be performed on the New Stage of Alexandrinsky Theatre in St Petersburg a decade ago. Additional versions lasting 23 and 70 minutes, with and without video, also exist. 5.1.1 represents a signal-type structure comprising five analogue signals and a stereo pair of digital signals.
In addition to the sound score, there is also a separate score for the visual component and its implementation. The visual component is reduced to a homogeneous texture-frame interspersed with brief video episodes lasting 3 to 8 seconds. Otherwise, a black screen with a running timer is displayed. This deliberate visual restraint—an intentional deprivation of visual stimuli—is designed to encourage a more nuanced and complex auditory perception.
Earlier this year, a version without video was performed at the Pfup! festival (@pfup.fest). The performance at Hörbar will feature the visual component. Original visual realisation by Elena Khurgina (@elena_khurgina).
