Behind The Tracks: CALLIGRAM - Ostranenie (Single) (2023)

'Ostranenie' is a word that Russian formalists used for Defamiliarization. This is what life is all about fighting habits and seeking desire undiluted by habits. Habits ruin everything, they make everything flat and plain. Defamiliarization is the impossible aim to experience everything like it was the first time and it's the central concept of art, poetry, and of course music.

The purpose of art and music is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. The technique of art is to make objects 'unfamiliar', to make forms difficult. The function of art is to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. Position | Momentum and its celebration of chaos shake up the "familiar scene" giving a new meaning to it.
