It’s a recreation by Laboratory of Intermedia Creations on their disc “Noises and Whispers in Avant Gardes”. Unfortunately it’s really rare :( You can only even find half of it online!

This was produced in 2003 by Leopoldo Amigo and Miguel Molina at Baku and released in 2004 by UPV-Allegro Records.

L’original n’ayant pas été enregistré.

Il n’y a qu’un lien indirect, mais je rappelle aussi « la symphonie du pétrole » (que @simplicissimus avait trouvé en 1,33 minutes sur Internet...)

Ah oui, merci.

P.ex. la légende de la photo fixe de YT : il s’agit d’Arseny Avraamov en train de diriger la deuxième (et dernière) exécution publique de la Symphonie des sirènes à Moscou.

Vu d’un peu plus loin,… avec les sirènes et quelques uns des opérateurs.

Ou encore, cette explication de la place des sirènes

Mais on ne trouve pas les plaintes d’Avraamov qui râle parce qu’à Moscou…

They gave us only twenty-seven heavy gun shots! It is for the big drum! And there were no machine guns at all… only gunfire!

Baku Flame Towers is a project by Azinko Development MMC. HOK were appointed as the architect, DIA Holdings the design and build contractors and Hill International as the project managers.

HOK undertook the masterplanning, concept and schematic design for the site and towers, and construction work is already well underway. The residential tower sits to the south, accommodating some 130 residential apartments over 39 floors, and is the tallest of the three towers. It will house luxury apartments and boasts stunning views across the surrounding area, while the hotel is sited on the northern corner of the site and consists of 250 rooms and 61 serviced apartments over 33 floors. The office tower is set on the western side of the complex, providing a net 33.114 square metres of grade A flexible commercial office space.

Oui voilà, je m’y perds entre proprio, exploitant, maître d’oeuvre...
