What is ‘SmartMusic! An Audiovisual Adventure’ by Aleksandra Tonelli?
This is the name of a new way of musicking, or experiencing music, from home, from your screen. Primarily through social media and video conference apps, this project aims to provide a concert-wise narrative audiovisual experience. Longer than a song and shorter than a film, this new artistic device aims for new types of art-consuming and artist-public relationship. This audiovisual piece of art can be considered a short-film, being the music composed in such a narrative way that can be translated into an animated video design to tell you a story.

Ghost memories”, is a mixture between slides and animation. When I was a child and my family used to go to visit my grandparents in Ukraine, the film we used in our small analogue camera when was not then turned into usual photos – instead they were developed into small so-called “slides”, that were then framed in small plastic cases. When I was missing my grandparents, I would ask my parents to show them for me and it almost felt like going to a theatre: we would wait for the evening, close the curtains (since in Moscow it was still pretty bright due to the light pollution), my parents would hang a small screen and take out the projector. Then we would choose the slides we would want to see and load them one by one. The projector would get hot very fast and make this unforgettable buzzing sound – when I to hear it as an adult it brings me back to a warm room with dust particles dancing in the light and slightly blurry snapshots of my childhood projected on the screen, always hanging on a slight angle.

A short explanation video about a bulgarian annual festival Kukeri.
Every year in January and February in towns and villages around Bulgaria people gather to celebrate a special kind of festival – Kukeri. Kukeri are elaborately costumed Bulgarian men who perform traditional rituals intended to chase away the evil spirits.
These kukeri wear carved wooden masks made of fur, leather and wood, with the faces of beasts and birds, which connects them with the ancient Dionysius’s games. Some of the masks are double-faced. One of the sides is smiling and amiable, the other side is vicious, with a hooked nose. Those masks symbolize the good and the bad which inevitably exist in our world side by side.
