"You're acting like a sissy!"
(Boris)
Akt-Produkt presents a new "material" release from SIC! (aka Siberian Improvisation Company): "Sissy" [akt-produkt 56].
The SIC! "material" series consists of improvisations performed in urban environments and public spaces—works released not as discs or cassettes, but as tangible objects associated with those specific environments and spaces, often collected directly during the recording process itself. In this instance, the release takes the form of sludge packaged in bags.
In the summer of 2025, SIC! (comprising Alexander Markvart, Stanislav Makovsky, and Maxim Evstropov) found themselves in Hamburg for the "Blurred Edges" festival. Following a sudden conflict with a sound engineer named Boris, the group refused to perform inside the venue (the album title is a direct quote from Boris).
The recording was made the following day during a sound walk along the Elbe River and its numerous canals. The central motif is the sound of a Soviet-era children's gusli (zither) known as "Perepelochka" (Little Quail). In the late 1980s, sound designer Bob Bielecki brought the instrument from the USSR to the USA; in 2025, he passed it on to Alexander Markvart, with whom "Perepelochka" subsequently returned to the European continent.
During the recording process, the members of SIC! spent a considerable amount of time contemplating what might serve as the tangible embodiment of their work. Ultimately, they decided to collect silt from the bottom of one of the canals that had run shallow during low tide. Thus, when you purchase this "material" release, you are buying a piece of mud hermetically sealed inside a plastic bag.
