MUSIC: Modern Nomadic Electric Sounds From Slowly Georgia

Yesterday we made a radioshow in Leipzig together with the two Georgians - the musician Gogi Dzodzuashvili & the artist Marika Asatiani in the studio from Radio Blau for one hour. In the end Gogi broadcasted four exceptionally artists from Georgia for electronic music from this very old traditionel country which is world-famous for his especially polyphonical heritage. Furthermore Nika Machaidze aka Nikakoi, Tusia Beridze aka TBA, Natia Sartania-Kituashvili aka sTia & also Gogi Dzodzuashvili himself (published his post industrial boys in Germany) were the interprets of an marvelousness evening and they brought us an individualistical and inimitable work in a musical radio-province for contemporary projects like this.
Undoubted could you listen a well-educated and intelligent view of the world. The sounds were in no case infantil and excessive technoid like whenever in the mass culture of electronic flackering in the computer scenes. Music in Georgia is on both counts a very serious approach.
The music gives me the creeps: the tone was different, well textured and dissociates from the mainstream. The voices, the poetry, the music were aloof. But, and this is very interesting & seldom, the sounds were very warmful and not difficult for our listening. The computersounds are not exalted. Easy records and compositions made the sound spaces dreamful, poetical, take somebody carry away, very inteligent sounds - it ws amazing ... I remember me on the great voice of Mesia Arabuli in one track. Traditional khevsureti voice meets modern computer sounds. This could be the future ...
I think the people have the power, the phantasy, the knowleges and the concentration to create a "huge" electric opera. I suggest a musically and performing experience between the cultures of west and east - a real life laboratory situation. I think this experiment ought to have the premiere in a old styled space. I mean the most conservative place for this is the right space - The Tbilisi Opera is the best playing ground for formant which could silently outgrow over this subliminal symbolic architecture of life.

New for me were the sounds of sTia, which you can listen here >>>
