Artists

Andrey Smirnov is an interdisciplinary artist, composer and scholar. He is a founding director of the Theremin Centre for Electroacoustic Music at Moscow State Conservatory where he teaches courses on the history and aesthetics of electroacoustic music, new musical interfaces and sensor technology.

His historical archives and comprehensive collection of original electronic musical instruments have been built up through his extensive research into music technology and interactive composition. Andrey has created computer-processed and computer-generated sound compositions for a variety of media projects around the world.

Most recently, his Generation Z project, which restores the censored history and culture of the Russia’s artistic Utopia of the 1910s and 1920s, has been realised in Sound in Z – an audio, visual and textual exhibition in the frame of the project FROM ONE REVOLUTION TO ANOTHER – Carte blanche to Jeremy Deller at Palais de Tokyo, Paris, (2008-2009).

The exhibition revolves around the archives of the Theremin Centre, Moscow offering an introduction to some of the key figures of the period and re-evaluating the history of music technology.

Among his other works are the Sonograms for tape (1999), performances Sonochronotop (2000), Brain Jazz (2001) and more recently Sensor-Garden (2006-2007) – an installation comprised of several plants connected to theremin-sensors which act as live antennas.
