CHTO is a series of unique acoustic events at the intersection of performance, sound art, audio exposition, musical open air and tourism, taking place on large natural landscapes, where you can hear ambient music intertwined with renaissance music, industrial noise with canonical chorals, drone with avant-garde twentieth century, various experimental, folk, academic and electronic music. The main active element on CHTO is the space between sound sources and listeners: it is unusually large for musical events — at least a kilometer. In it, the music is saturated with air and acquires new qualities that are different from the original, it becomes literally tangible. Being in the distance, the listener perceives the sound as a huge moving mass around him. All music is demonstrated through the ambient lens. I suggest the visitor to plunge into this atmosphere, and not to listen to it - to be in this environment, to become part of it.

Audio-visual performance based on the method of musical and artistic composition "OSTINATO", that interprets the repeated repetition of a melodic phrase, rhythmic figure or harmonic turn. Performance can be considered as a reflection on the events happening to us nowadays. The space for creating a work becomes an old Stepan Razin factory in industrial area of Saint Petersburg. Performers use the actual attributes of our reality, familiar during pandemic to everyone-masks, signal tapes, form of communication in online broadcast. They capture the experience of events through the prism of artistic perception, combining music, choreography, vocal improvisation and creating a media sculpture on the ruins of the past.

SNØ is a journey through snowy landscapes from a bird's-eye view accompanied by atmospheric electronic music. The video captures mountain ranges, frozen rivers, winding roads, and winter forests that gradually transition to waterfalls, peculiar cliffs, and the seaside. Symphocat's sound expresses a spiritual session, shamanism, and a dialogue with natural forces through stones and wood fragments. The music transforms from snow and ice to clouds and warm sea waves. SNØ is a search for the soul's state that seeks new horizons, a sense of inner space, and a breath of fresh, frosty air brought by tireless winds.
