The Lux Aeterna. Psalms of falling was inspired by the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great inventor for new musical soundscapes, György Ligeti. The first part of the title of this project is a reference to Ligeti's masterpiece Lux Aeterna for 16 voices, a turning point in Western vocal music. The main theme of the project is the memory of all the dead Ukrainian artists who became victims of the Russian war in Ukraine. Ukrainian and Bulgarian composers Maxim Kolomiiets, Maxim Shalygin, Alla Zagaykevych, Peter Kerkelov composed pieces for vocal ensemble and electronics as a dedication to the memory of these people. All four pieces take up’s Ligeti’s eternal music both musically and in terms of content and show the many facets of contemporary Ukrainian music. Each of the composer use the electronics in his own way – this include combination of voice and tape, the combination and search for live timbres, the constructiona of a new timbres based on data synthesis, electronic vocie processing in a real time, etc.
