The wind turbine, aside from being a remarkable sound object in its own right, changes speed and direction in response to weather conditions and energy demand. It is also a reminder of the fragility of our climate and energy systems, making audible the complex relationship between natural forces, technology and human activity.

The performance invites a different mode of listening. It evokes the structure of a ritual or a vigil, offering time to attend to an energy infrastructure that is usually perceived only through its function.

There is no precomposed score, no fixed structure and no scheduled intermission. Each participant decides when to engage or disengage, to stay attentive or drift into their own thoughts — whether musician or guest — shaping a sonic flow that is unique each time. The six-hour duration is essential to this openness: it allows the performance to unfold through changing weather, the movement of the turbine and the musicians' shifting decisions, rather than simply extending its duration. The work continuously changes as environmental conditions and human responses evolve.

Visitors are welcome to stay for the entire performance or arrive and leave at any point, experiencing different moments within this continuously changing relationship between performers, wind turbine and landscape.

Performance as part of the In Situ Art Society project within Soundtrips NRW 75. Bonn, 2025.

MoN - this project is an attempt of creation of artistic, pictorial and acoustic metaphor of pre-cognitive space, which gets into field of our vision for the first time, which there is probably outside of it that is nonlinear, unexcited and absolutely opaque (or absolutely transparent, that it is the same thing technically). In this state the space exists for a few moments – nearly at once it starts to be filled with our reactions, reactions to reactions, the comments and reaction analysis. The whole space begins to split into the signal elements, be structured, be compared with potential counterparts with varying degrees of swiftness, but pretty quickly. It starts to be filled with a text, turn into the text until it disappears, finally, in whole inside any random category. Being two-dimensional it can be get lost forever in indistinctly created file for something similar. If separate fragment of space-text starts to return with unalterable regularity it can be removed out of main context, appropriated and turned into lyric episode of private or collective autobiography. In this project I tried to create pictorial and acoustic sceneries maximally free from linear development, from narrative and didactic component. I would like to remember or approach again amazing moment of sincere surprise, which causes any space found itself within of our attention for the first time. Or, rather, sincere noticed for the first time. At this moment, before the space starts to be shared and scattered in our systems of denominations, it, breathless, retains its stunning integrity and impermeable non-dimension.

The Shell
We live in cities, and cities live within us. Time passes, we move from city to city, from country to country. We change languages, habits, opinions, clothes. We change everything, and everything changes quickly. You live somewhere, work somewhere. You speak in a certain way, eat certain foods. You wear certain clothes and look at what surrounds you. You live as you know how; you are who you are. But what is home? Idea: Julia Mashkova Cinematography: Grisha Mumrikov Sound: Grisha Mumrikov 2024.

Ascension
This work is based on Soviet-era archival materials dedicated to the so-called 'Moscow Pool'. This pool was created on the site of the demolished Cathedral of Christ the Savior, one of the most significant symbols of Russian spirituality. Despite the Soviet authorities' attempts to destroy religious traditions, people continued to seek spiritual solace even in such a place. Images of people bathing, as if performing the sacrament of baptism, symbolize the enduring power of the spirit and the inability of a totalitarian regime to completely suppress religious feelings. This work is a reminder that spiritual values are indestructible, and even in the darkest times, the human spirit strives for light. Video/Music by Grisha Mumrikov aka MoN
The duo CHORDA
The electro-acoustic improvisational project Chorda was founded in 2018 by St. Petersburg composer and sound artist Dima Anikin and Moscow electronic musician, clarinetist, and artist Grisha Mumrikov. Chorda's music combines many genres of electronic music, from drone to IDM, with an original interpretation of new age and dramaturgical thinking – both musicians have participated in theatrical and exhibition projects. The duo has performed in Moscow, St. Petersburg, at the Signal festival in Nikola-Lenivets and O.Z.O.R.A. in Hungary.
