Forgotten Futures /// ( 1 / 7 ) /// Forget Your Past

Mount Bouzloudja, Bulgaria.
Here, the wild nature and the past merge, vibrating with a unique
energy that emanates from buried memories and past battles.
At the summit of this mountain stands the Monument of Bouzloudja,
an imposing brutalist structure. This monumental edifice dominates
the landscape with an almost supernatural force, evoking both
the grandeur and the contradictions of a bygone era.
Inaugurated in 1981, the monument was designed to commemorate the
90th anniversary of the founding of the Bulgarian Socialist Party.
The edifice served not only as a memorial but also as a gathering
place for Party members and official events.
It was intended to embody the power and modernity of the Bulgarian
communist regime while celebrating the struggles and victories of the past.
After the fall of communism in 1989, the monument was abandoned.
Over time, it has undergone an inevitable process of entropy.
However, the energy of this place goes far
beyond the monument and what it represents.
Mount Bouzloudja is a sanctified mountain, a strong symbol that holds
a central place in Bulgarian national mythology.
✨ 👁️ ✨ 👁️ ✨
Forgotten Futures is a seven-episode series that immerses us in an exploration of the
Balkans where past and future converge in a whirlpool of memory and forgetfulness.
Forget Your Past is the session that opens this exploration, transporting us to Mount Bouzloudja, where time seems suspended and the remnants of the past inhabit every corner.
Here, ancient tales blend with echoes of battles, hopes, and disillusionments of a previous age.
It is a constant struggle between what has been and what could be,
a journey toward an undefined future where the lessons of the past
shape the dreams and promises of a new order to come.
Each episode of Forgotten Futures invites us to revisit these forgotten futures,
to explore the buried memories in the mountains and valleys of the Balkans.
We are also working on a documentary for this series,
which will delve more deeply into the history of each location.
Always with 📷 Chalisk Pito
Notes:
I use my modular synth as a small electronic orchestra.
My sequences are composed on the piano, with my voice, or directly on
the modular synth, and then programmed into the Nerdseq sequencer.
When I'm in the studio, I also use the Ground Control and the ER-101.
Pre-recorded samples of my voice, soundscapes from the locations, instruments (all played by me), and certain effects are reintroduced into the system through sampler modules like the ER-301, 1010 MK2, and STS. These are triggered and mixed with the rest of the sequences.
The composition, instrumentation, and preparation phase for
each session takes weeks, sometimes months of work.
This project has always been funded by Chalisk and me.
It isn’t really sustainable, but it’s purely about the process, the journey,
art, spirituality, and the joy of sharing this experience with you.
Among the gear used are: Nerdseq, ER-301, Pamela’s New Workout, Autopilot, STOs, Mini Mods (VCOs/VCFs), DPO, XPO, QPAS, Foundation Oscillator, Amp & Tone, Mangrove, Bartola Valves (VCO2, Fuzz, LPG, VCA), Marie's LFO, Erbe-Verb, Mimeophon, BDS, mk4, Panharmonium, Lyra-8 FX, Overseer, MSCL, VCA Matrix, and lots of multiples.
We strive to do as much as possible ourselves.
It’s always a process within a process, a way to discover
and learn new things.

Does anybody else think these are the best videos on KZbin?

[@turtle-Alchemist]

Pretty much. This amazing soul is healing broken spaces

[@smythee7835]

Once unlocked from deep claustrophobic at home was a blessing

[@rodrigospacecraft_]

Raises hand.

[@mwpennington24]

certainly up there. pure quality

[@1katzler]

Yeah

[@SchallVisier]

You are my greatest discovery in music for a while. I dont know anyone who even remotely listens to something like that. Its a blessing.

[@julesvegaart]

I was thinking of writing about Helene's work because it moves me and may possibly be one of the most sublime references of this type of musical expression. Better than just thinking about it was actually doing it: Helene's work is presented to our ears and specially to our brains through a soundscape, not only using sound but also imagery. Her work coordinates velvety layers in sequences that are always in full development, a continuous work in progress that creates a narrative. Additionally, the visual narrative is present in the use of the camera, which kindly provides us with a description of the space where the performance takes place. The artist appears immersed in her work; it seems to me that she improvises very little, giving the impression of something extremely meticulous resulting from hard work. At one point, I felt that her work was somehow architectural. But after seeing her recent works, I understand that her compositions sing about seeking liberation, expansion, and redemption. She manages to transform ruins into a kind of focal point from which life emanates in the form of this sonic expression. Her latest work prioritizes the horizon as the boundary of the space where the artist dwells. I can only be thankful for having had the chance to listen to this.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Powerful, very powerful. Steeped in energy and feeling. A fantastic location yet again charged with so much emotion. Fantastic work.

[@HeleneVogelsinger]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻

[@willswitchcraft]

what a surreal location................,killer upload My wife and I just took a trip in our gypsy wagon for a week. One week without any internet. No time caught up in the drama unfolding around the world, no updates on politics, conflicts, concerns around the planet. So nice to listen to this complex, original piece, as my gentle reintroduction. I guess I forgot about how bombarded we all are by the endless stimulus of the internet - good, bad, horrific, inspiring....all of it................thanks for the soft landing.......................Yes, there you are, in white, like a wedding dress in some futuristic world - married to your modular tech. Ok, I've had my dose of soft, evolving, intricate beauty, and I'm ready to be reconnected a little more again.......

[@nikolaantonov9007]

О, музыка на фоне ушедшей цивилизации титанов...советская архитектура. Великолепно! Спасибо!

[@aljen9611]

Не советская архитектура, а болгарская.

[@masakovske]

@@aljen9611 то есть, хотите сказать, что в послевоенный период Болгария не находилась под влиянием Советского союза, и что там правящей партией не была коммунистическая партия?

[@matthewscrivner6670]

Reconciling the industrial with the digital, the brutal with the ephemeral, the silence of the ruins with the music of the machine; transforming what we were into what might become, showing us what to make from the things we find in the rubble, and how to be present in the midst of the tyrannies and decadences of the past.

[@AleMoglia]

Really great and inspiring stuff! The music perfectly fits the space-age design of the surroundings. I can draw a lot of inspiration from that. Keep on doing this, it’ll never get boring. It feels like I’ve got some ground to cover for my own modular performances… ❤️ Love ☮️ Peace 😊 Happiness

Incredible Hélène!! I can't wait to see/hear/experience the remaining 6 episodes in this series.

[@Dustrauma]

The depth of conscience I have felt listening to this today has been inspiring. I watched it to the end, taking-in the visuals of a place I’ve never seen, and may never see in-person. I read the eloquent description of the video down to the last detail. It all reminds me of a the Qatsi Trilogy, in a way. Directed by Godfrey Reggio, composed by Phillip Glass. A moving snapshot of human history with industrial technology propelling it forward, for better or worse, as nature takes its course. I’m enthralled with anticipation to see and hear more of these Forgotten Futures, to learn more of these lands through the anomalous lens of this project. 🫶

[@HeleneVogelsinger]

[@LVZGIOVEL]

The past is that which is forgotten; memories are present, and even those that fade into oblivion remain as emotional vibrations that animate us, subconscious impulses that permeate our will. Is then destiny fixed? Is then your life but a continuum? That might be the case, but what’s to come will be shaped by your actions, and the more you know about the forces that influence you, the better you can decide how to effectuate your will upon the world. It is important that you know you’re never alone, but who are your people? Who will you fight for? Don't be mistaken; this is not a cuestion of identity, it is a matter of character

[@HeleneVogelsinger]
