Since Spring connotes a blossoming of nature and birth of the new,
and since it is also a time of flash and joy in the human soul, the
month of April has been selected for "Two Days and Two Nights of
New Music".
With each passing year it is more and more evident that Ukrainian society wants to determine and establish itself as European, and it is in
the sphere of culture and art where the coming innovations must express this aspiration in the most striking way. In this sense, the "Two
Days and Two Nights of New Music" Festival, which was initiated
in the first years of renewed Ukrainian independence, has become
a forerunner of a definitive joining of Ukraine to the European and
worldwide cultural space, as well as a truly efficient tool for cultural
integration. Our Festival is aimed at developing the newest art trends
and encouraging the most unexpected creative experiments, inspiring
human hearts to rejoice in a communal atmosphere of great mystery,
from which beauty is born.
Once again, we are happy for the opportunity to welcome our dear
friends and returning participants to the Festival. And we are glad
to make the acquaintance of new participants and guests who will
surely become friends of the 2D2N community.
The Festival is becoming more and more renowned all over the world.
We are satisfied at having achieved our main objective: "Two Days
and Two Nights of New Music" has to a great extent allowed contemporary Ukrainian music culture and Ukrainian composers’ works
to rank high in the world. Owing to the Festival, the International Public Organization Association New Music was founded and now it represents the Ukrainian at the International Society for Contemporary
Music/ISCM. Taken together, these facts constitute our pledge of
the further existence of "Two Days and Two Nights of New Music".
This year’s festival will be held within the premises of the Odessa
Regional Philharmonia. This is a significant fact: firstly, it proves that
"Two Days and Two Nights of New Music" is growing, and therefore
more space is required; secondly, it demonstrates a moving forward,
with a change of dramaturgy as well.
With a feeling of great gratitude to all our sponsors, and with the
confidence that this 18th Festival "Two Days and Two Nights of New
Music" will become a veritable musical holiday, we hereby welcome
all participants and guests and wish them creative inspiration and joy
of immersion in the music element!

TWO DAYS AND TWO NIGHTS OF NEW MUSIC
International Festival of Modern Art
President: Bernhard Wulff (Freiburg, Germany)
Artistic Director: Karmella Tsepkolenko (Odessa, Ukraine)
Director: Oleksandr Perepelytsia (Odessa, Ukraine)
The International Festival of Modern Art Two Days and Two Nights of New Music / 2D2N is an annual event that appeared on the musical map of Ukraine in
1995. The festival is organized and held by the International public organization
Association New Music / ANM, the Ukrainian section of the International Society for Contemporary Music / ISCM. Its President, composer Karmella Tsepkolenko has been Artistic Director since the festival concept was established. The
musician and manager Oleksandr Perepelytsya is the Director of the Festival.
The Festival’s President, percussionist and conductor Bernhard Wulff (Professor at Freiburg Music University), has always promoted the development of the
Festival as an international event.
The annual International Festival of Modern Art Two Days and Two Nights of
New Music as of today without doubt is the largest festivals for New music
and performing art in Ukraine. The festival’s action is unique because it was
designed, according to the logic of composer’s conception, as a grandiose
48-hour event, where various kinds of art are organically combined into a nonstop music spectacle, a large-scale composition-performance with a distinctive
atmosphere shared by performers and audience.
During the festival’s existence, thousands of Ukrainian and foreign artists have
been its participants. The annual audience has included many thousands of
Odessites as well as guests from other cities of Ukraine and from abroad. The
Odessa event’s ideas and actions have extended beyond the geographical borders of the city; they have spread to other regions and countries resulting in
new international projects, which are covered by national and international
mass media. Highlights from the Festival have been released on three CDs and
the DVD-ROM Association New Music – Self-Reflection at the Turn of Millennia, which covers activities of the ANM during the period of 1995–2005. The
ANM website was created in 1999.
As the Festival is a non-commercial enterprise, its organizational and operational expenses have been met through grants from public, private, and governmental foundations and organizations, Ukrainian as well as international.
Constant financial support will accord: Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, Odessa
Regional Administration, Odessa Regional Council, Odessa City Council, Goethe-Institut Kiew – Deutsches Kultur –Institut (Germany), Deutsches Kulturzentrum Bayerisches Haus Odessa, Embassy of the State of Israel in Ukraine (Israel), Embassy of Sweden in Ukraine (Sweden), Swedish Institute, Foundation
for Arts Development Assistance (Kiev, Ukraine), Charity Foundation Ciacan

and KulturKontakt (Austria), British Council, Gaudeamus Foundation (the Netherlands), French Cultural Centre in Ukraine (France) and others.
about 2D2N

Since 2D2N has already been recognised as an achievement of the Ukrainian
culture and Ukrainian State – thus, its artistic content and outcomes, as well
as the fact and context of its existence, are worthy of analysis.
As to its concept and circumstances of implementation, the 2D2N doesn’t
imitate other Ukrainian or foreign festivals. Its uncommon distinction is that it
unites new content and an imaginative, thought-provoking form: a single 48hour action comprised of two 12-hour musical blocks, starting on Friday or Saturday afternoon, breaking on Saturday or Sunday from 4 a.m. to 4 p.m., then
resuming and continuing until Sunday or Monday morning. The event is divided
into First Day, First Night, Second Day and Second Night, with every musical
hour as a rule filled with a new action, combining installations of performing,
visual, multimedia and synthetic arts.
The Odessa forum has showcased Ukrainian and international works of art,
and illustrated new ideas in artistic form, content, and performance. It fulfils the function of aesthetic education of the public and artists, as well as
searching for new forms of artistic expression, and extraordinary techniques in
production and design. It has disseminated such new synthetic genres as performance-art (uniting musical ideas with symbolically encoded actor’s movements), installation (uniting visual and acoustic ideas with vital social action),
video-art (combining various video-forms with music), etc.
It is very important that the Festival has united musicians, painters, actors,
producers and art-managers from different countries, and has allowed them to
showcase their abilities in joint artistic projects and cultural actions.
As another direct result of the Festival, dozens of new works have been created by foreign composers for Ukrainian musicians, and by Ukrainian authors
for foreign performers.
The Odessa forum is especially important for the development of Ukrainian
culture, and for its integration into the European and worldwide cultural space.
The Festival, made by and for innovative artists, has already become a tradition.
This fact may be one of the Festival's most important outcomes.
International public organization
Association
New Music
Ukrainian section of the International Society for Contemporary Music/ISCM
President Karmella Tsepkolenko
The Association New Music/ANM was founded in Odessa in 1995. In 1996 the
ANM joined the International Society for Contemporary Music/ISCM as a full
member representing all of Ukraine.
The idea to create the ANM emerged during planning for the first International
Festival of modern art Two Days and Two Nights of New Music/2D2N (Odessa,
1995) by Ukrainian composer, founder, and artistic director of this festival
Karmella Tsepkolenko, who is founder and President of the International Public
Organization Association New Music.
The ANM activity is aimed at the development of New music and modern art
in Ukraine. The principal task of the ANM is thorough support of composers,
musicians, musicologists, cultural managers, and artists involved in the innovative trends of contemporary music and synthetic kinds of art. Proceeding from
the ideal of free development of art, the ANM doesn’t limit the concept of New
music by stylistic or ideological boundaries.
The ANM achieves its aims through the organizing and holding of various cultural forums, realizing audio and audio-visual recordings, producing CDs, publishing scores, and other production activities (electronic and hard copies).
The ANM is engaged in information and advertising activities, provides gratis management, fosters creative work and professional skills improvement,
furthers contacts with colleagues and managers of the international musical
community, assists in the performance and recording of music, encourages
participation in festivals and competitions, and facilitates information exchange.
One of the current directions of ANM activity is organizing and holding cultural
forums.
Undoubtedly, the main ANM achievement in this field of activity is the annual
International Festival of Modern Art Two Days and Two Nights of New Music,
which is recognized as one of the most important musical events in Europe.
2D2N doesn’t imitate any other festival. Its uncommon distinction is that it
unites new content with a novel festival form. The Association records all
pieces performed during Two Days and Two Nights of New Music and selected
works were included in three CD releases (one of them is a double CD) and the
DVD-ROM Association New Music – Self-Reflection at the Turn of Millennia
which covers activities of the ANM within the period 1995–2005.
Alongside the festival activities, the ANM also collects and distributes information about contemporary musical processes. Toward this aim the first Ukraine
Musical Information Center/MIC specifically for Contemporary Music was created in 2000.
ANM also prepares and edits various materials: journals, festival booklets,
handbooks etc. Creation of electronic databases, catalogues, and encyclopaedias on contemporary Ukrainian music is important part of the ANM activity.
The website of the Association www.anm.odessa.ua was created in 1999 to
promote contemporary Ukrainian art and the activities of the ANM. There are
three main sections: ANM, Festival 2D2N and MIC.

DVD, CD-ROMs and CDs
published by Association New Music
Since 2000 ANM has edited the Ukrainian/English online-magazine Musica
Ukrainica www.musica-ukrainica.odessa.ua, where articles and research materials by famous Ukrainian and foreign musicologists, musicians, composers,
journalists and cultural managers are published.
The first Ukrainian CD-ROM multimedia database, New music of Ukraine - composers, works, performers www.anm.odessa.ua, was produced by the ANM in
2001. It contains Ukrainian/English information about 24 Ukrainian composers
and New music performers (over 50 musicians and musical groups): photos,
biographies, complete lists of works, addresses, as well as 3 - 5 recordings of
every represented composer (a total of 12 hours of music, 57 selected works,
in MP3 format) have been included in this CD-ROM.
A Ukrainian/English reference book, Contemporary Composers of Ukraine, featuring biographical data, photos, and complete lists of musical works of 33
Ukrainian contemporary music composers, has been published for the first time
in Ukraine (2002).
In 2003, a double CD-ROM, Candours of Mystery was produced. This English/Ukrainian multimedia database contains information about 12 Ukrainian
women composers and New music performers, featuring over 70 musicians
and musical groups performing 111 pieces (22 hours of music in MP3 format).
DVD-ROM Association New Music – Self-Reflection at the Turn of Millennia
was issued in 2005. The Multimedia database covers activities of the ANM
during the period of 1995–2005.
In total, 2 CD-ROMs, 9 CDs, a DVD-ROM, a reference book on contemporary
composers, and over 70 booklets have been issued by the ANM.
ANM represents Ukraine at various international forums, of which the annual
Festival World Music Days, organized by the ISCM is the most important. K.
Tsepkolenko, as the ANM President and a Chief delegate from Ukrainian Section of the ISCM, has participated in the General Assembly and annual festivals
of World Music Days since 1997. Ukrainian composers and members of the
ANM who have presented their works at this festival are: L. Yurina (Iaşi, 1999),
J. Gomelskaya (Luxemburg, 2000; Hong-Kong, 2002; Switzerland, 2004), K.
Tsepkolenko (Bucharest, 1999; Yokohama, 2001, Switzerland, 2004); and Alla
Zagaykevych (Stuttgart, Germany – 2006) etc.
The ANM's activities have also fostered the process of mutual exchange: Ukrainian musicians perform works by foreign composers, and foreign performers
present works by contemporary Ukrainian composers.
The Association also participates in cultural management training in Ukraine.
During 2003–2004 the culture-education project Centre for Applied Cultural
Management/CACM [email protected] was initiated by the Association
New Music and supported by Swiss Cultural Programme South-East Europe
and Ukraine (Zurich, Switzerland). The Centre began work as an individual
organization in October 2004. A specially developed, long-term course for the
training of cultural managers was launched in January 2006.
The activities of the ANM, including all the events described above, have
been realized through the unique experience and long-term cooperation of the
Association with many institutions, including: Ministry of Culture of Ukraine,
Odessa Regional Administration, Odessa Regional Council, Odessa City Council, Goethe-Institut Kiew – Deutsches Kultur –Institut (Germany), Deutsches
Kulturzentrum Bayerisches Haus Odessa, Embassy of the State of Israel in
Ukraine (Israel), Embassy of Sweden in Ukraine (Sweden), Swedish Institute,
Foundation for Arts Development Assistance (Kiev, Ukraine), Charity Foundation Ciacan (Odessa, Ukraine), Pro Helvetia Foundation and Swiss Cultural Programme - Ukraine (Switzerland), Austrian Embassy and KulturKontakt (Austria),
British Council, Greek Culture Foundation in Odessa, Gaudeamus Foundation
(the Netherlands), French Cultural Centre in Ukraine (France) and others.
Due to the initiatives of its members, and the ANM's fruitful cooperation with
international institutions, new perspectives for the implementation of creative
ideas as well as new projects at national and international levels have been
established.
