Live Performance by Carsten Nicolai at Lovebytes 2003 9.45 pm 22/03/03 at the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield. Using electronic sound and visual art as a kind of hybrid-tool, Carsten Nicolai creates his own microscopic view of creative processes. His world looks more like a laboratory - constantly morphing in space and time, influenced by the impulses of this media world, sound the message as code - becomes the primary theme via his visualised sound performance.

Russian folk song. 1. Iz-za ostrova na stryezhyen', Na prostor ryechnoy volny, |: Vyplyvayut raspisnyye, Ostrogrudyye chyelny. :| 2. Na pyeryednyem Styen'ka Razin, Obnyavshis' sidit s knyazhnoy, |: Svad'bu novuyu spravlyayet, On vyesyolyy i khmyel'noy. :| 3. Pozadi ikh slyshyen ropot: "Nas na babu promyenyal, |: Nochku s nyeyu provozilsya, Sam na utro baboy stal." :| 4. Etot ropot i nasmyeshki Slyshit groznyy ataman, |: I on moshchnoyu rukoyu Obnyal pyersiyanki stan. :| 5. Brovi chyornyye soshlisya, Nadvigayetsya groza, |: Buynoy krov'yu nalilisya Atamanovy glaza. :| 6. "Vsyo otdam, nye pozhalyeyu, Buynu golovu otdam," |: Razdayetsya golos vlastnyy Po okryestnym byeryegam. :| 7. A ona, potupya ochi, Ni zhiva i ni myertva, |: Molcha slushayet khmyel'nyye Atamanovy slova: :| 8. "Volga, Volga, mat' rodnaya, Volga, russkaya ryeka! |: Nye vidala ty podarka Ot donskogo kazaka!" :| 9. "I chtob nye bylo razdora Myezhdu vol'nymi lyud'mi, |: Volga, Volga, mat' rodnaya, Na --- krasavitsu primi!" :| 10. Moshchnym vzmakhom podymayet On krasavitsu-knyazhnu, |: I za bort yeyo brosayet, V nabyezhavshuyu volnu. :| 11. "Chto-zh vy, chyerti, priunyli? Ey ty, Fil'ka, shut, plyashi! |: Gryanyem, brattsy, udaluyu Na pomin yeyo dushi!" :| 12. Iz-za ostrova na stryezhyen', Na prostor ryechnoy volny, |: Vyplyvayut raspisnyye Styen'ki Razina chyelny. Tr. Jacob Robbins, 1921 1. From beyond the wooded island To the river wide and free, |: Proudly sail the arrow-breasted Ships of Cossack yeomanry. :| 2. On the first is Stenka Razin With a princess at his side, |: Drunken, holds a marriage revel With his beautiful young bride. :| 3. But behind them rose a whisper, "He has left his sword to woo; |: One short night, and Stenka Razin Has become a woman too!" :| 4. Stenka Razin hears the jeering Of his discontented band, |: And the lovely Persian princess He has circled with his hand. :| 5. His black brows have come together As the waves of anger rise, |: And the blood comes rushing swiftly To his piercing, jet-black eyes. :| 6. "I will give you all you ask for, Life and heart, and head and hand," |: Echo rolls the pealing thunder Of his voice across the land. :| 7. "Volga, Volga, mother Volga, Deep and wide beneath the sun, |: You have never seen a present From the Cossack of the Don. :| 8. And that peace might rule as always All my free-born men and brave, |: Volga, Volga, mother Volga, Volga, make this girl a grave." :| 9. With a sudden, mighty movement, Razin lifts the beauty high, |: And he casts her where the waters Of the Volga move and sigh. :| 10. Now a silence like the grave sinks To all those who stand to see, |: And the battle-hardened Cossacks Sink to weep on bended knee. :| 11. "Dance, you fool, and men, make merry! What has got into your eyes? |: Let us thunder out a chanty Of a place where beauty lies." :| 12. From beyond the wooded island To the river wide and free, |: Proudly sail the arrow-breasted Ships of Cossack yeomanry. :|
