"Olympian Machine" is a work for 12 voices, presented as an audiovisual installation of 12 speakers. During the recordings, the participants of the work were invited one by one to the studio for one hour. Each was individually read a several-page summary of Homer's Iliad, after which each participant was asked to recount what he/she remembered from the text they had just heard. Various personal deviations from the text of the Iliad were very welcome, but not encouraged in any way, so as not to lose the spontaneity of the associations. In this piece, listeners hear a polylogue of voices rethinking issues of history, memory and communication.

"<...> Besides every told myth, there is another one, unnamed, untold. The other, which waves from the shadows, emerges only in the form of allusions, fragments, chance, and no one dares to tell it as a single story" (Robert Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmium and Harmony).

in 2019 Arturas Bumštein was awarded the Boris Dauguvietis earring for the integration of sound experiments into new forms of theater (the sound installation-performance "Olympian Machine" and the performance "Bad Weather").'
