KP TRANSMISSION: electronic music producer

“Teletourgia” by Masha Kharitonova attempts to visually re-assemble the myth and mechanics of these ancient practices. The film is divided into four chapters, metaphorically representing the processes of saturation, mystical ecstasy and bodily fusion – followed by decay and rebirth. The eerily unnatural movements of Butoh performers, avant-garde techniques and alchemical imagery create a cinematic language capable of conveying and animating the archetypal story of one’s own destruction and rediscovery.

The equally mesmerizing and grueling soundtrack for the feature was created by Moscow-based musicians Karina Kazaryan, known as KP Transmission, and Sergey Shpilevoy, performing under the name Dritter Verkehrsring.
