i actually went to the Gnessins music school in Moscow, under Bolshoy Theatre, after i won 1 out of 327 competition from 36 countries, where i was classically trained (voice major), with a special permission, because i was under age, from the USSR Ministry of Culture.

After i defected in Rome, Italy in 1988, i was auditioned in Vatican by maestro Francesco Siciliani, teacher of Maria Callas, where i studied for six months, then spent some time at the faculty of music at U of T and the Royal Conservatory of Music, hence the rebound end up being the extreme experimental noise rebellion. tongue emoticon 

i am a visual / conceptual artist first, although i can sing basso profundo, i have the lowest voice in the world, however i can also dance, play balalaika, at first, then classical guitar and piano, however i prefer a boiling kettle. sunglasses emoticon 

The Idiosyntactix Alliance' acoustic art pieces are incidentalist in nature, purposefully so, since we, as the Idiosyntactix' Incidentalist art movement, are incidentalists, as our many draft manifestos would attest.*1

As such, we have produced many works of the incidentalist art in various mediums. Besides Incidentalism, our Venture Communism memorandums, the Equity Liberation Fund, Peer Production Licence, Happyclown Inc, Plunderpalooza Festival of Cultural Appropriation and Intellectual Property Freedom, IDIO-AUDIO Pirate Radio, Art Party Summer, Notorious Net Happenings, Nocturnal Transmissions, NET Gathering, IndieSchmooze, TransFusion, From The Heart, Conspiratorial Salons, Soiree D'Idiosyntactique, and numerous other intellectual brands, form the basis and the foundation of the numerous philosophical, cultural, political, socioeconomic, open expressions, and active communities, such as our Berlin branch.*2

For more info please consult Google and our files and archives. We were mentioned in the New York Times article, so we are on the record. Welcome to Idiosyntactix. 

Cheers!

"Incidentalism is not a discovery, an invention or a style of art. Incidentalism is an attitude towards art, expression and enlightenment. It is a practice based upon observations and it's aims are to maximize the enlightenment of it's practitioners and to maximize the resonance of human expressions. It is our hope that in doing these things that our greater understanding of our lives will alow us to live more satisfied and authentic lives in a more satisfactory, just, and authentic environment.

Incidentalism is rooted in the idea that art is not an object, but rather art happens in the incident. Art happens when the actions of artists bring expressions into a state where they can be perceived and thereby can enlighten, art is in the moment of expression. It is not our purpose to use art as a tool to demonstrate our own skill and/or knowledge, rather to use art as an apparatus to provoke the incident to incite expressions that are beyond our own preconceptions. The incidentalist's goal is to express that which is beyond their skill and or knowledge, not to educate through their work but be enlightened by it and allow these enlightening expressions to resonate unhindered.

"We" are The Incidentalists. We do not include or exclude anyone from being such. It is up to you whether or not to include yourself in our open ended "We" as is convenient for your experience, change your mind whenever you like." ...+continued
