Bidim from Aborigen Bass by S1
Aborigen bass
Shamanism is an ancient form of religion dating back tens of thousands of years, based on communication between shaman and spirits in a trance-like state. With each day of people keeping the culture of shamanism becomes less, but whether becomes less shamanic practices as such?
The tools for ritual have always been: rhythm, voice, and substances.
Perhaps rave culture is a revival of sacred practices in a new form.
Aboriginal bass is a synthetic album, simultaneously looking back into the past of the culture, so here, and looking into the future, it is a continuation of sacred practices. Both recordings of original instruments (tambourines, darbuka, djembe) and synthesized similar ones are used in the creation of the material. The vocal parts are mixed, partly sung by the author, partly sampled from Aboriginal field recordings. This is both new and old music.

The name of the author of the project is sewn into the S1 \\S - Svibovitch, 1 - A - Andrey\\.
Andrey Svibovitch is an audiovisual artist currently based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
He was born in Kirovsk, a town beyond the polar circle in the Khibiny mountains on the Kola Peninsula. Nevertheless, the contrasts of the nordic nature had a profound impact on Andrey’s artistic vision.
He received mostly private education, studying the theory and practice of contemporary dance, fine arts, music, sound engineering, sound art, and visual programming.
The experience of various practices led him to a synaesthetic approach in art: the combination of graphics, light, sound, and motion into a common audiovisual structure, where each element is essential. The aleatory principle is added in compositional structures.
A new meaning and new feelings are born at the point of interaction. Technologies are not the direct goal of the artist, he sees them as a tool for conveying emotions, feelings, and sensations at a non-verbal level. He investigates dialogues and the unpredictable collisions, tensions between the visible and audible, the differences between what we feel and observe.
His method - it is a new method every time.
