Vziel Projet Listening List 7: Default artist - Tymoshenko demonstrations 09/10-2011

 

Artist: Default Artist
Genre: Field Recording
Label: Genetic Trance
CAT#: GT367
Year: 2011

Wow, absolutely wow, have no idea how I haven't heard this album before. An amazing set of four field recordings of Ukrainian political demonstrations that are immediately incredibly captivating. The album gives a brief description of what the protest is about, but obviously, I have no idea about it, but the actual sounds, are amazing. The opening track, The 6th of September, seriously sounds like some sort of industrial power electronics track, with blasted out mucky loud-speaker speeches, and political songs cutting in and out throughout the recording. I feel the low recording quality really adds to it, making it feel even more like power electronics. The entire album keeps up this vibe and energy, and it makes for a really interesting set of field recordings.
