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.
