Yo! Previous week was busy as usual!
We got to do installations in national gallery of armenia!

small intervention from communauté d’ameublement was successful!

for a day, sec appears as communauté d'ameublement in the national gallery of armenia.

in our infinite attempts to merge academic approach and underground culture we wish to fit in the diverse and various events/activities that may slightly transform the surroundings for sec_receivers.
we work as an organized force that unites background_s/wish/es_ of/ our community members to create conjoint expression that acts as a furniture_/ standing/ for ones comfort.

we had only six days to adapt and widen already existing ideas/installations to the renovated halls of national gallery of armenia.
sec appreciates the openness/trust/_ that was given to our members. some of them are still not used//being artists!

an interactive installation with a stick and a stone, fitted with a piezo sensor that captures, amplifies, and transforms sound. through drawing on the walls, every gesture becomes part of a musical composition — an improvisational form of percussion available to anyone, where movement generates sound, and the desire to create sound alters the movement.

this interactive installation is composed of three modular synthesizers playing a generative patch reminiscent of the sounds of nature. a proximity sensor embedded in the piece reacts to surrounding movement: as the listener approaches, the sound shifts. the work investigates how sound directs attention, orients the gaze, and influences imagination. what we hear may not align with where we look — and what we see often reshapes what we believe we've heard.

many other sec_people took part, helping with concepts, construction, communication, and organization.
they are: anton shchegolev, svetlana sidorova, sasha kainer, pavel fahrutdinov, andrew rylov, alexey tarasenko, dasspiegelbild, and dmitrii galchinskii.

big thanks to all who supports sec with a kind word!
especially arno babajanyan concert hall and shoghakat mlké-galstian.

please help us — share this post.

dear sec_scribers,
our current building in hayart cultural center will be reconstructed soon, and there won't be any room left for our studio. by the end of june, we have to find a new place!

here is what we are looking for:
_a long-term space in the kentron/arabkir area (300k-500k amd);
_3+ rooms (~110+ sq. m.) for lectures and coworking;
_a separate entrance with 24/7 access (ideally, a standalone house or building where we won't disturb neighbors with sound classes, though we don't blast music after 22:00);
_basic interior condition that we can adapt to our needs (acoustic treatment, drilling shelves, etc. — but we're ready to restore it to the original state when moving out);
_must have electricity, water supply, heating system, and a toilet;
_optional: kitchen, yard, additional garage/basement.

about us: sec is a non-profit educational and creative project with a social mission. we are a responsible community of musicians, artists, engineers, teachers, and learners. we do lectures, courses, music, art, and organize public cultural events at various venues, supporting aspiring artists and cultural actors.

please share this post to help us find our new home!
if you know of any options, let us knowww//

dm to @dumb_gum or @sayoimu if you find something goooooooood__
