violet – okraina ep (con-v)

violet is one of jeff surak’s monikers, zeromoon label owner and part of glitch/dubby techno project normal music. he has recorded many noise/drone/improvised releases by now on various labels and this is his last placed on con-v label. it is 24 minute piece composed from source material recorded in russia and ukraine on his tour last summer. these field recordings from snoring, toilet flush, coughing, train drive and other various static noises and ambiences were than edited into peaceful, drone soundscape. whole piece is more or less equal in its intensity. sometimes glitchy parts interrupt the peaceful atmosphere, sometimes ambience dominates and sometimes snoring creates the body of the track. excellent work, one of his best so far when field recordings are in question.
