Novocibirsk launches brand new video from 'The Vasarely Project'
After “Télévision 1945 I” and “Télévision 1945 II”, the French label productionB presents another set of long-lost analogue treasures from Novocibirsk: “The Vasarely Project”.
Novocibirsk as a project is the product of experiments conducted by Hervé Isar between 1982 and 1993 in his home studio, connecting a network of synthesizers and analog sequencers to test their communications or synchronize their messages and speed multiplication, testing multi-oscillators pads out of mono generators, trying octave distribution, voltage additions and substractions.
Out now is a brand new video for the title track.
This new release holds 10 new analogue experiments also recorded in the late 80s / early 90s, culled from the Novocibirsk’s cassettes archives. The material was carefully restored and remastered for this new release. For this material Hervé Isar experimented with a very unique composition process: He transposed the painter’s color codes into electrical tensions programmed on three interconnected analogue sequencers with no preconceived idea of the outcome. It was subsequently played in front of a live audience in the Vasarely Foundation in Aix-en-Provence in september 1993 and recorded on audio tape, now available on CD, Limited 12″ LP and digital.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
