YARAVI

flute, percussion and tape. (11' 28'')
(1993)
Evgeny
Brokmiller- flute
Michael Zhukov-percussion
The tape was realized in 1993 at the Theremin Center.
| Meaning
literally ''Song of Love and Death'',the ancient word of Inkas
presupposes first of all, the motion towards eternity.On this
twilight way the main image is sadnes, penetrating Love without
passion,death without chill of grave, and interwining with
an ancient legend of the land of Valdivia.We do not know today
if this tale about birds,whose singing was an ill omen for
people,is a legend.Anyway, Valdivia birds live eternally (Probably
reincarnating?) and Yaravi is percieved in a different way,as
Yaravi-Valdivia,uniting in one images of birds and human beings. |

Live
flute and given tape are the two embodiments of a bird-human
being. At the same time the tape part, associated with rites,is
constantly interacting with flute,creating a gradual approach
to same qualitative transition.Singing of the bird-human being
is understood differently: transformations of tape are unpredictable,parts
of flute and percussions are withdrawing, melting into non-existence.Ancient
Valdivia by some chance find themselvesin a modern world,
sworming by computer networks. |
| Find
themselves, knowing that they will inevitably outlive it.In
this way the most ancient and the super-modern coexist in
Yaravi, touching upon spiritual problem, materializing the
predictions of sadness through wich eternal is reached. |

Michael
Zhukov. One of the leaders of the Moscow underground, an
extraordinary drummer,a neal individuality with his own rythmic and
sounding ideas. Very offen he refuses from massive rythmic frame in
favour of a very particular world of sounds where he envelopes his
partners' playing with various creaks and rustles.
