As part of this beautiful family festival, CARS and dublab have invited us to set up our solar powered production equipment and curate two afternoons of environmental splendor with our friends. We’re joined this afternoon by the great field recording experimentalist Alexey Seliverstov with performances at 12:30p & 2:45p. Bring a blanket, a picnic, a book, and feel the earth breathe if you know what we mean. Before, between, and afterwards we’ll be playing some of our favorite selects from the canon of environmental music as well as casually and sporadically sharing flute sounds on the lawn.
Experimental composer Alexey Seliverstov specializes in creating generative soundscapes using
custom computer algorithms, an array of tape recorders, magnetic card readers, portable turntables, and
reel-to-reel machines.
Known for crafting artificial bird songs, Alexey blends these with field recordings from
spring forests, flowering meadows, California creeks, high mountain areas, and generative synth parts in his
sound collages.
A pioneer in his field, Alexey has introduced techniques such as Extended Soundscapes and Flying Mics,
which earned the admiration of Pete Townshend, co-founder and principal songwriter of The Who. This
recognition led to a unique collaboration, with Townshend commissioning Alexey to compose one of 14
soundscapes for the upcoming art installation The Age of Anxiety.
Alexey has also composed music for several films, most notably Inhale-Exhale, which won the Grand Jury
Prize at the 2019 Shanghai Film Festival. Recently, he collaborated with Glass Animals to create an official
performance remix of their song “Creatures in Heaven.”
