🎵 So I'm Sofia Saralete from BDC, Georgia. I'm based in Aarhus, studied electronic composition, and I'm a sound artist working with a lot of different multimedia stuff. My name is Nelly Pansulaya. I come from the country of Georgia as well. I lived in Denmark, studied in Copenhagen, also in Aarhus as an exchange student. And I'm based in Berlin currently. I'm a composer, performance artist, sound artist. So I think a few years ago, when did it start? Actually, I don't remember. As I do, it's already been, I think, almost five years. I was in the middle of a pandemic, COVID. Yeah. And yeah, we started performing together uh we were both based in two different cities but we met each other occasionally and it kind of turned into performative um performative live concerts where we always worked on specific concepts and yeah we always use different media visual art performative art sound and mixing up with different kinds of genres as well so it's very much cross work genre multidisciplinary direction yeah and every time when we perform i think we just make like site-specific new new performance where all these different genres are combined and we try to pre like work before but then it always ends up completely different after after working at the space so we kind of have like pre-production and then a lot of improvisation in between and try to contribute with both directions like we prepare some our stuff in advance and then share with each other. Yeah, we work quite individually, but so far it always worked out. But that's kind of like concept maybe, or goal. Yeah, because we're like very individual and we're more like composers rather than musicians. So yeah, we're not instrumentalists who keep practicing together daily. It's more having this very strong theme and concept so we could work together Yeah, Deluge, which means basically being very overwhelmed, flooded. It's a metaphor definitely for having overwhelming, like being like highly overwhelmed and just keep isolating yourself and creating this safe space bubble which can feel extremely relieving because it numbs your emotions but then you just um you just go through this same pattern that makes you isolated um so yeah and we created like for instance the videos which is like one of the videos is, it's like a character stuck in her own bedroom and just doing this repetitive routine. I just like makes her feel extremely comfortable. But that's just like one of the characteristic behaviors of isolating yourself, not letting anyone in that routine. I think how we work also is that this always comes from the personal experience, the emotional experience that we have. an emotional experience that we have and then when we took this theme of isolation and loneliness but also routine and being in your bubble that sometimes like it's confusing feeling in a way that it's it's maybe like negative but also positive at the same time and how do we like or maybe like comfy in some way so kind of wanted to work around that and yeah nearly worked on the video part and then I have decided to have a bit more like I don't know like how should I go like sculptural light installation yeah more physical yeah I call sometimes sculptures but I'm not sure if it's like that much. But yeah, and I've used the black wrapping paper that is for me feels how like that you isolate with that. But at the same time, you create something around it. And then it also has this weird feeling when you watch that it's it it is so light but also so heavy and then it feels more like melting like has a motion of that you feel it's melting so yeah that was whole goal of like how am i working with the with the material and then how the material also reflects the concept and then the concept also works on the material and it was so random also it's so difficult material to work with because whenever you touch it just change the form and then then you add something else and then change form again so it's maybe like the process was also a bit difficult, like a composition concept. But it was also kind of interesting to pick the material and then try to create something that feels like that concept. Yeah, and as Sofia said, in a way we focus on our own emotional experience and each performance each work that we've done so far has been very personal for instance like the also the other video that I made it's very much like the remainings of like so many from so many experiences that I personally been going through and and also like the sound wise it's like there's so much like remainings and like resampling and resampling from the like previous works that previous works that's been done by Shattered Objects. Yeah and maybe we should say something about sound as well because we have six speakers and then five of the speakers are hidden in the sculpture and then they are playing randomly in there. So I have some recordings and some live processing that is happening and it goes random. So not all like... it's kind of looping but also not really looping because it's always random and picks up the random parts and then puts into space. So when you walk in the room it also doesn't have this like stereo effect. You have something like in the middle place randomly from different angles. Thank you. We also kind of tried to be a bit more site-specific in a way like where to point the speaker so it has a different resonance in that. We actually ended up not having a subwoofer because it was not working but the room is so interesting that it feels like you have a lot of subs and then it shakes the floor and also a little bit of the speakers. that creates like a physical sound like this which is nice to experience yeah when you work on something for me it's more like with with this sculpture is that the i think it's like mix of feeling, melting, heaviness that is super light. I don't know, something kind of like mixed feeling. And maybe creating this illusion, or maybe it's not even an illusion, that it's just as deeper you go, it becomes more difficult to leave that space. So, yeah. it becomes more difficult to leave that space so um yeah but i don't know personally for me i always i i never want to put like all those um like i don't know like creating some sort of expectations and i i want them to experience the way they would like to experience it and everyone has their own way of seeing things and hearing. Yeah, I think it's more like I had a little bit of fear that I would end up a bit more like heavy and I kind of want them to feel that it's not only heavy thing and then maybe when they're going to watch also this like stuff and walk around, there are some beautiful elements as well that are in this darkness that even if it's like black and then you point your like phone lights, it might actually sometimes looks way more beautiful than something that is super light. So kind of these mixed feelings. It's more like how I... Yeah, that's beautiful. There's always light after darkness. Yeah, exactly. That's very cliche, but yeah. But in many ways we also need to mention something about performance, I guess, because that's also going to mention something about performance I guess because that's also going to be like that we talked a lot about installation but we also perform in a few minutes and that is also I think the similar feelings that we want to share with the music and mix with that so I think it will be a bit more like meditative noise ambient a bit more like meditative noise, ambient impro that we kind of know and don't know.
