I'm Pavel Niakhayeu (aka Pavel Ambiont, Nieviadomy Artyst), an electronic musician, A/V artist and researcher from Belarus. I'm currently based in Poland.

I have co-founded Mental Force Festival in Minsk and has been curating the A/V program of Artes Liberales art and education festival in Minsk. Since 2012 I'm running Force Carriers electronic music label.

In 2018 I've co-edited P.S.Soundscapes - a volume on sound and music studies in the Post-Socialist region.

In 2008-2022, I used to teach a course on Sound, Music and Technologies in Contemporary Cultures at the Department of Social Sciences at the European Humanities University (Vilnius, LT).

flakkari

“Icelandic culture is infused with stories of travel. When names were needed for modern machines, the technology that enables our imaginations to travel, words were chosen that centred on the quality of roaming. Thus the neologism for laptop is fartölva, formed from the verb far, meaning to migrate, and tölva – migrating computer’; its companion, the external hard drive, is a flakkari. The latter word can also mean ‘wanderer’ or ‘vagrant’. In the end it’s the wanderers we rely on.” From Nancy Campbell’s “The Library of Ice”.
