Notations

We're excited to announce Digital Score #1, our new music laboratory taking place at the State Philharmonia of Armenia in Yerevan.

This program brings together musicians, performers, sound artists, visual artists, and technologists to reinterpret archival Armenian classical music through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Over several weeks, participants will explore new approaches to sound, performance, and media art — challenging traditional forms and building new ones. The lab culminates in a public Showcase featuring performances, installations, and sonic experiments. But the journey doesn’t end there: selected projects will continue to evolve and be presented at international festivals, exhibitions, and digital platforms.

Etudes Lab #1

Études Lab #1 is set to launch in Yerevan as a groundbreaking three-day experimental
laboratory designed for sound artists, choreographers, and visual artists to collaborate and create
new works. Hosted by the hosq, this innovative initiative fosters cross-disciplinary exploration,
culminating in an audio-visual performance that will receive a grant for further development and
touring.

Open Call – Online exhibition "Time traveler"

Online exhibition on the topic of time perception. Private initiative and experiment. The exhibition will be held on a separate site. It will also be featured on Instagram.

The last 3 years have knocked many out of reality. Pandemic, political conflicts, economic crisis. Time simultaneously compressed to one point and seemed to stretch to infinity. How do you see time? How did he become for you in these difficult years? How do you look at the past and the future?

Maybe your idea of ​​time is expressed abstractly, or maybe quite concrete images?

Maybe you would like to present your work from 2019 and work from 2022 so that the viewer can compare how far you have come in these 3 years? All in your hands!
