Title:  Sound Sculpture Artist:  Yuri Kalendarev Label:  Die Schachtel Format:  CD Price:  € 20.90   Mp3 samples: none

Title Description:
Belonging to the generation of underground non-conformist artists, the dissidents of the 70s, Yuri Kalendarev has employed various media to develop the outcome of his research that explore the intersection of sculpture and sound vibrations. He came upon the sonic possibilities of his work after 30 years of working with granite, land art and light projects.
His Sound Plates are forged out of acoustic bronze compounds using hammers and fire, in order to generate a large range of frequency oscillations that allow multiple interactions with the listenerÕs inner being. YuriÕs bronze Sound Plates are designed to create massive low-frequency drones and midrange howls, capable of creating a wide variety of deep percussive sounds. In redefining the concept of sculpture in pure sound terms, the work of Yuri Kalendarev extends an explores a new aural experience beyond the sound itself, an investigation into the realm of pure acoustics.
The performances captured on this CD represent the crystallization of the physicality of KalendarevÕs sound sculpture - a set of ten resonating sound plates - his attitude to rhythm, to the persistence of sound itself, and his ability to create an atmosphere of deep concentration, silent communion, and mystery.

CD hand numbered edition of 300.
Bronze-silkscreened custom-designed heavy natural cardboard digipak, complete with booklet in Italian and English.
