      Symphony for 2 bicycles


      Alexey Grachev and Alexander Bochkov - CyFest

      ‌The artists on the bicycles regulate the sound and rhythm with their pedaling, and together they create the final work. The way the "symphony" is played depends on the movement of both riders. The intentions and aspirations of the participants acquire sonorous expression. They can synchronize and try to turn the pedals to the same rhythm, to be in harmony. Or they can intentionally disturb it and cause harmonic fluctuations, creating complex combinations of sounds that arise when movements are out of sync.
