Works of the master
In 2014 Sergey Filatov created a project called Omniauris. There are installations and sound performances here. This work of the famous sound master was inspired by nature. Studying it, he realized that each sound is a part of the overall sound canvas.
To replenish the numerous family of his works, to reproduce this idea, Filatov took as a basis a multi-channel speaker system. And it uses real-time studio material for sound quality.
Sound sculptures. This is another creation of the master who made a great contribution to the creation of sounding structures. Sergey Filatov has several similar works, for which he uses aluminum, quartz, glass and even plant seeds.
One of his sculptures was specially created to decorate the St. Petersburg building. It is located in the arch of a residential building in this city. The opening has a height of 6 m.
Having created an ensemble of sound generators, Sergei Vyacheslavovich built it into the refrigerating chamber, which was intended for storing grapes. The work is also very extensive. It has a diameter of 5 m and a height of 6 m.
In St. Petersburg there is a pressure chamber, with the help of which the wires are checked. Sergey Filatov created a sound canvas for this technical structure.
Technological devices
Unlike composers, who, for example, create pieces for flute and orchestra or for violin and piano, Filatov invented a piece for two technological devices.
Certain sounds are obtained here as a result of contactless and contact work. So, without even touching these instruments, the master extracts metallic sounds using a magnetic field.
Sergey Filatov also has a kinetic sound installation, an audio-visual music installation, and a percussion installation. For the latter, he used plexiglass containers. The master connected aluminum plates to these bowls. They change the amplitude of movement, and from this interesting sounds appear.

A family with children or a husband and wife can go to the performance, the musical accompaniment to which was also created with the help of Sergei Vyacheslavovich Filatov.
