"არქივში ინახება ის, რაც დარჩა იმისაგან, რაც „სინამდვილეში იყო“. აქ თავმოყრილია რეალური ფაქტებისა და ცნობების შემცველი დოკუმენტები და ჩანაწერები – ის მასალა, რომელიც საერთო, კოლექტიურ მეხსიერებას აყალიბებს".

Community Radio Tbilisi presents the series of interviews - Virtual Talks - with the participants of Tbilisi Architecture Biennial 2020 - What Do We Have In Common.

Guests: W2KSHOP collective

Topic: Spatial Formations project examines the relationships between residents and the places they occupy by observing the living spaces around Tbilisi. Different media is used to gather and describe the information which is then presented in the form of an exhibition at MAUDI

Based on the idea of the exhibition, I have decided to pick one particular spot in Tbilisi where I often happen to be. That spot is April 9 Park. In the composition, I attempted to combine the natural sounds of the park with the musical ideas of mine.

Location is near Tbilisi railway station Tevdore Mgvdeli St. and Abastumani St. crossing point. I made a few field recordings with my phone, walking through near by streets, observing people and just going where sound was leading. Then made a few more frequencies out of them at my homestudio in Okroyana, where I spend most of my time.

Mushtaidi Park, built in the 19th century by the Iranian refugees with personal (living close by) motives, has with time turned into an open public space. Despite the fact, that the park was owned by various individuals throughout the years, it has maintained the character of the place for gathering, having fun, wandering, holding open theatres, concerts, festivals, bars, and carnivals.

For that reason, the sound of Mushtaidi Park is quite diverse. The voices that co-exist there through different dimensions, with moving within the space itself; those that change in real-time and create the feeling of movement – is somewhat unusual from a sonic point of view. Thereby, the recording/material would be more descriptive of the space than merely an audio-reportage about it. Regardless of non-pretentious architectural value/importance, which in turn, emphasized the significance of temporarily eliminating social differences and encouraged being and communicating in a joint space, with its eclecticism, Mushtaidi Park is one of the more important cultural places of Tbilisi.

Irakli Chantladze

After working in the sound department (foley art) of one of the TV stations, I, in 2012, have begun to make field recordings, which I then mix and master and place together as a composition, both through electro-acoustic music and sound collage practices.

“Infinite Fractions”

The sonic reflection of the public spaces and social life was both Natalia’s and Nuci’s explorations in different media.

Natalia as an architect has been interested in the different typologies and understandings of public space, studying and collecting memories, moments, sound material, as well as interacting with it through performative works.

While Nuci as a musician, was expressing the reflection of the city within her compositions.

Natalia is an Architect based in Tbilisi. Graduated from Ilia State University M.Arch, also B.Arch Tbilisi State Academy of Arts - Fine Arts and Architecture. Natalia has been working as a multidisciplinary Artist since 2007- being part of many different, group shows and exhibitions. Lately she has been participating in projects such as: TBILISI ARCHITECTURAL BIENNIAL (2018), TBILISI ART FAIR - WAR ON HOLD (2018), MUSEUM OF TRANSFORMATION (2017);FUTURE MEMORY - FEST-I-NOVA-2016 etc. As well as organising events: UNDETERMINED (2017), URBAN DEVELOPMENT OF PLEKHANOV; AVLABARI FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, etc. Currently she is an associate partner and design manager at MUA - Architecture and Placemaking, also is a member and co-founder of interdisciplinary group MATERIAl’HUNTERS.

Nuci is a New York-based musician/artist. Graduated from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, she has released the album “Dreamension” with her original compositions and has spent the past years playing shows throughout New York City and Georgia with her project "Nuci Nebieridze Sextet".

She has released two compositions about Tbilisi, “City Sounds” and “Freedom” both were about actual and important challenges that had taken place in Tbilisi’s society in 2017.

Soon after Nuci recorded and produced a new album, including her voices, electronic sounds and samples from New York city streets and people, which is going to be released soon.

According to these recent sampling experiences in different environments, it is exciting for Nuci to record sounds in Tbilisi, especially at the outdoor market where the noise and sound is one of the main features and characteristics of the place.

Concept

Sound recordings of one of the Outdoor Markets in Tbilisi - Navtlukhi / Samgori

Navtlukhi Market - Area full of unorganized, scattered, spontaneous events - Space as a nonspace, as an abstract environment - place as chaos - noise as a manifestation - trading, selling, buying - occasional interactions - disposable relations.

The work “Infinite Fractions” is an experimental collaboration between sisters that have never interacted with each other in their creative process, even though both have been interested in sonic materials for various reasons. This collaboration opens a new and challenging juxtaposition for both Artists to observe, compare and create…

‘Hidden Tbilisi’ is a tour-guide to Tbilisi’s historical

districts that explores the city’s architecture, its historical

planning, the tour guides in Tbilisi are conducted by the

historian Tamar Tavadze.

In the audio recording, you will listen to one of Hidden Tbilisi’s

tour guides telling the story of 1914’s architectural contest,

conducted by the consulate of Tbilisi. The contest was held to

reveal the best facades of modern style (Art Nouveau) in the

city. The winner frontages of this contest one can now see on

the buildings in central parts of Tbilisi, such as Rustaveli

Avenue, Kostava and Chonkadze streets.

We invited people from all over the world to participate in our collection of sound postcards.

Sound, which is an inevitable part of space, creates connections not only with a particular physical environment, but also with associations, memories, feelings, experiences, imaginary and thoughts.

Participants created sound works using various techniques to convey a shimmering and personal experience of a specific environment.

Let's listen and imagine all these places through sound.

ჩვენი კოლექციის მონაწილეებმა ხმოვანი ნამუშვრები სხვადასხვა ტექნიკის გამოყენებით შექმენეს, რომლებიც ადგილის აღქმის პერსონალურ გამოცდილებებს და შეგრძნებებს ეფუძნება.

გიწვევთ მოუსმინოთ და შეიგრძნოთ ადგილები ხმის მეშვეობით.
