TESTOSTERONE & AVANT-GARDE
Q: Who is your favorite male composer?
Tatiana Gerasimenok: A real man is defined by sheer endurance and fearlessness in frontline combat; writing music or any other domesticated activity is for pussies, so it’s Wagner, Schoenberg, and Lucier.
Q: What would you be if you were born a man?
Tatiana Gerasimenok: Since a woman’s strength lies in intellect and creation — and a man’s in physical force — if I were born male, with healthy testosterone and muscular drive, I’d be pushing the limits of the human body: breaking athletic records, building bridges, exploring outer space, saving lives, working in factories, defending my country; I’d unleash beast energy while performing the kind of music I compose, or battling Brian Ferneyhough’s technical madness on stage — and coming home only to give women orgasms.
If I were born a man, I would be someone in this video.

But because my hormones are suited to feminine activities, I am a composer — quietly creating in the comfort of my room.
Q: As an 'avant-garde sex symbol' name 3 male composer - sex symbols of the 20 century ))
Tatiana Gerasimenok: Stockhausen, Avraamov, and Xenakis.
By the way, Xenakis — who was not only a composer but also an architect — literally fought in the frontline Resistance and lost his eye to a bomb blast. So he is not a pussy but the ultimate man of the avant-garde.
