MUSIC FOR FILM. Mikhail Chekalin - synthesizers, voice, piano. Recorded in 1989.
A Musical Journey - Post Pop-Non Pop to… Post Symphonic-Post Electronic & Beyond… Since the beginning of the 1970’s, Mikhail Chekalin has undertaken a musical journey. From simple beginnings and stylistic sketches in the underground, to installations of light, sound and art, he has been working toward the creation of a new style of music - Futurist Surrealism.
In the 1990’s and post Millennium, since the fall of the Soviet Union, a new reality has developed in Russia and elsewhere, which has resulted in a cultural gulag where artists find no way to communicate with the public except to adapt to the cultural norm.
Mikhail Chekalin for his entire life has operated outside the established culture as a second cultural force, speaking to those who would listen using both art and music as his voice. The primary outlet for post-millennial work is MIR Records that has released both his older unreleased recordings, and more recent music and video albums.
Music For Film represents a distinctive achievement in Mikhail Chekalin’s career that stands apart from his other works. It was not conceived for any particular film per-se, but music created instead as a template filled with powerful sonic imagery that would enable listeners to create their own “movies of the mind”. Previously Chekalin had created audiovisual soundtracks for art galleries and installations, but this album was a different musical challenge.
It turned out to be incredibly successful, with each of the four tracks creating a distinct musical tapestry of layered synthetics, percussion and voice that transcend the boundaries of traditional soundtrack classicism. In fact, later in 1991, the music was used in a 6-chapter film series examining the early 20th Century historical transition period from Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union.
