Modern intersectional, electronic protest music. Founder of African experimental noise label NON, Chino Amobi provides a timely update of Brian Eno’s 1978 masterpiece to meet the anxiety of the post-9/11 era. Through industrial and noise song craft, Chino destroys Eno’s notion of the contemplative, privileged airport experience of old. Here, Amobi’s blown-out synths, gun shots, and breathy vocal loops expose the physical tension and disorientation of the modern airport.
