Multiscreen Video Ensemble
"Laughter is the greatest weapon we have and we, as humans, use it the least." — Mark Twain
POLITUNES is a project about dictators and populists who keep singing the same simple tunes over and over again.
More than 100 political figures took part — unwillingly but truthfully.
All the sounds in this video come directly from the politicians you see on screen.
Only unprocessed sounds and videos were used.

is dedicated to squeaky doors. The author asked his friends from all over the world to send recordings of squeaky doors, and after that he made a composition, the structure of which is quite complex and requires a lot of attention from the listener. The symbolism of opening and closing doors speaks for itself. It is hospitality. It is openness or closure to migration.
Sergey Khismatov is a composer and multimedia artist whose works are presented at concert halls, art exhibitions and film festivals worldwide. Khismatov is drawn to unique and innovative projects, even if they are intended for a one-time performance.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, he invented a new audio-visual format called Video Ensemble. This innovative medium intertwines spatial sound distribution with visual elements, creating intricate, mosaic-like structures. Despite the labor-intensive nature of the process, Video Ensemble stands as a testament to Khismatov's commitment to merging sound and visual material into a cohesive, immersive experience.
