Timur Dzhafarov
Valeria Prorizna
In the personal archive of a technician who worked at an early experimental electronic music workshop in Kyiv, operational from the mid-1960s and dissolved in the 1970s, a collection of recordings has survived. Select fragments will direct a hauntological sonic walk through a city where visions of the future are manifested in conflicting forms. Moving through West End, the listeners will find themselves in spaces that fulfill the visionary promise, expressed in the workshop’s output, but will also pass though environments no one in the postwar decades would have anticipated or wanted. The utopian sonic material, created by those who believed that the 21st century would be different from the 20th, should have been a soundtrack for an urban life to come. Having reached the future for which the soundtrack was written, the flaneurs can contemplate the form it took.
