Vyacheslav Petrovich Artyomov (Russian: Вячесла́в Петро́вич Артё́мов; born June 29, 1940 in Moscow) is a [[:Category: Russia|Russian]] and [[:Category: Soviet Union|Soviet]] composer.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Vyacheslav Artyomov undertook simultaneous studies in physics and music, studying composition at the Moscow Conservatory under A. Pirumov and Nikolai Sidelnikov<sup>[1]</sup> and piano with Tovi Logovinsky, graduating in 1968. He became a member of the Union of Soviet Composers and Association for Contemporary Music (ACM), and was active as an editor at the Moscow publishers "Musyka"<sup>[1]</sup> for several years.<br />
<br />
In 1975, he joined the improvisation group "Astreya" with the composers [[Sofia Gubaidulina]] and [[Viktor Suslin]].<sup>[1]</sup> In 1979, he was blacklisted as one of [[Khrennikov's Seven]] at the Sixth Congress of the Union of Soviet Composers for unapproved participation in some festivals of Soviet music in the West.<br />
<br />
== Music ==<br />
Artyomov's compositions show his interest in the archaic ("Incantations", "Totem") and Christian motifs ("Requiem", "Ave, Maria") as well as Eastern meditation ("Awakening", "A Symphony of Elegies", "Moonlight Dreams"). As a young composer, he developed a profound interest, successively, in Russian folklore, traditional music of the East, the works of Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Messiaen, and the [[:Category: Poland|Polish]] avant-garde. But it was Arthur Honegger's Symphonie Liturgique, as well as the works of Edgar Varèse and Sinfonia by Luciano Berio that made the greatest and most lasting impression on him.<br />
<br />
Artyomov considers music a science – concentration of soul experience – and, side by side with astrophysics, – one of two main fundamental sciences.<br />
