(Review by Russell)
Sci-Fi is a five track EP with a total running time of 17 minutes
and 31 seconds. It is a multi-media collaboration (text readings and processed
sounds) minus a key element – 3D visuals. The visuals form an integral part of
the ‘live’ performance. The audio-only experience is, perhaps, like listening to
a mono recording, the development of stereo an audiophile’s pipe-dream.
Space Flight’s founder – Radek
Rudnicki – works with Jakub Hader (video programming and interactive art) to explore the interaction between live
instrumentation and immersive 3D visuals. Their source material includes
the works of Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick and Stanislav Lem and data obtained
from NASA. Anna Edgington (a contemporary classical vocalist) reads from texts,
providing a consistent narrative across the recording. Rudnicki manipulates
sounds generated by the musicians – electronica, hip-hop, industrial – and in a
live setting Hader’s visuals provide the missing piece to the cosmic jigsaw.
Sci-Fi is a limited edition release on Wave Folder Records (www.spaceflight.eu).
