ENG BELOW
Tänavune Psühhodisko konverents “Vuntsidega funk” toimub 10. ja 11. septembril Tartus Elektriteatris, Barlovas ning Genialistide Klubis. Konverentsi teema “Vuntsidega funk” viitab Ukrainas 60–70ndatel ellu ärganud muusikaliikumisele, mis viis kokku folk- ja tolleaegse funk sugemetega pop-muusika, impulsid Idast ning Läänest. Nii avavad ka konverentsil seekord psühhodisko ja funk-muusika maailma loengud, filmi linastus ja helid nii minevikust kui ka tänapäevast, mõtted Ida-Euroopast kui ka ookeani tagant. Seekordset konverentsi aitab kaaskorraldada Estonian Funk Embassy.

Psühhodisko VII rahvusvahelise konverentsi “Vuntsidega funk” loengud (inglise keeles)
Alexis Charpentier (CAN, Music Is My Sanctuary): “Vinyl Excursions — Why exploring a new culture should start at the record store”
When traveling to a foreign city, visiting the local record store is often the best place to get an understanding of its music culture and form an instant emotional connection. Vinyl records (other formats as well), both from the past and present, are a great mirror of a country’s cultural context.
The record store has always served as a cultural hub where DJs, collectors, musicians, and culturally curious people can all connect. It is a living, breathing ecosystem that simply cannot be recreated online.
Alexis Charpentier (aka Lexis), founder of Music Is My Sanctuary and TED Talk Speaker (2018) will share a few of his favorite worldwide record digging expeditions — lifelong connections he made in record stores from Belgrade to Tartu, London, Pittsburgh and Shanghai. He will also take you on an imaginary tour of his home city of Montreal and its best stores, and play a few holy grail records as well.
Dmytro Nikolaienko (UKR, Shukai Records): “Soviet Music for Films and Television, and Music of the Outsider Composers”
Since the revival of the vinyl format in the previous decade, many new record labels appeared as well as the new phenomenon of archival/reissue labels. French, Italian, British, German, Americal labels are reissuing records that sold out 50-20 years ago, but there is a new demand for it now. The “first time on vinyl” soundtracks, “lost tapes never heard before”, rare library music or forgotten amateurs and “bedroom producers” — it’s time to revisit and reselect what was unfairly missed. In the beginning of the 2010s, a group of enthusiasts asked themselves, why is there no label taking care of local musical archaeology? The answer was Shukai that appeared in 2018, but the preparation started much earlier, in 2012. It is an archive record label focused on bringing back to life the lost tapes from 60–90s — Soviet film and television music and music by the outsider composers, found in national and private archives. The lecture focuses on the problems of the process, hardships of working with the archives and artists, and why we need to preserve Soviet Ukraine’s musical heritage.
Ingvar Kassuk (EST, Groove Of ESSR) and Henrik Ehte (EST, Groove Of ESSR): “On the Path To Find the Groove of ESSR”
Estonian Funk Embassy has since 2018 been on a journey to discover grooves in funk, soul, jazz and disco. It’s been one filled with tears, sweat, but above all else, joy. It’s fulfilling, to say the least, to shed light on pieces of incredible music from the nooks and corners of the Estonian Radio archives. On the path to compile Groove of ESSR, we’ve met wonderful people and heard stories about how music was written, produced, performed and shared during the Soviet era. On the Estonian Funk Embassy radio show, we’ve had guests who made it all happen in the 70s-80s. The lecture will bring to light some of those stories, and the origin of the funk-soul-disco movement. It will also aim to give a short overview of the process from diving into the ocean of music, finding the pearls, and making them available to music lovers around the world.
