IMMACULATE
PERCEPTION
IMMACULATE
PERCEPTION is a ground breaking album of music and poetry. Inspired
by the energy and intensity of the poetry, the composer Mark Leventhall
has written a contemporary and diverse blend of orchestral and electronic
music that is not just a background for the poems but an active
force. The Russian poetry is beautifully recited by Alicia and the
poet himself Vitaly Kalpidi. Kalpidi's work has won top literary
awards including the Apollon Grigoriev prize and the Best Book of
the Decade.The album was featured at the 2001 International Poetry
Festival in Moscow and in January 2002 at the Academgorodok (Academic's
Town) of the Academy of Science in Novosibirsk. It has been presented
in theatres, clubs, universities and art galleries throughout Russia.
The English premiere was held at the Pushkin Club in London and
to quote Richard Mckane "it was the outstanding event of my chairmanship."Presentations
include a documentary about the making of the album by the London
film company Visual Voodoo and a screen show of spectacular graphics
by the St Petersburg artist Vyacheslav Ostapenko.
