Multimedia art project “Arsenium” is based on the historically significant event of the first performance in Baku of the “Symphony of sirens” by avant-garde Russian composer and theorist Arseniy Avraamov. “Arsenium” is not a reconstruction of the “Symphony of sirens”, it’s more a tribute to the event that played a significant role in the art-scene of Baku.

This art project is based on video-animation in the style of pseudo-chronological and mythological elements. Music for the project is written by Ali Hasanov in collaboration with Natalya Goncharova. The soundtrack consists of electronic music performed by Russian musician and composer Arseniy Trofim along with the Baku choir and brass band. To create a suitable atmosphere the performance will take place at one of Baku’s dockyards.
