INSTALLATION—video clip with sound (random excerpt)

The installation presents a 2 hour sound piece made exclusively using sounds sourced at the factory complex during the residency last year; field recordings of factory machines being turned on again after many years, samplings of soviet built synthesisers and other instruments long in storage complemented by ‘industrial’ metallic percussion played on the ruins of defunct structures, along with snippets of 1980s pop-music, in-house Soviet cultural events and Party meetings and a canonical speech announcing the end of the Second World War — all taken from reel-to-reel tapes found on the territory of the former factory (see Sound Resources in the header above). This was composed—mixed/recorded live using a DJ controller & software. The sound-collage is accompanied by sound-responsive use of laser, strobe and dry ice.
