Portraits of Athens and Istanbul in musique concrete and vinyl layerings of (sometimes used and scratchy) records bought in the cities.
Sound bricolage of unchanging mood. Extended silences at end of noted tracks. Over my head.

1) mishmash of vinyl samples, crackles and a bit
of harshness 6:36
2) arabic voice & instruments/low rumblings/
bagpipes? 8:05
3) loud band/warbles/Tibet chants/skip@end/silence
9:50
4) vocallist subverted/train?/harsh collision of
instruments/atmospheres 4:14
5) folk guitar/drone/sarod/organ 7:44
6) arab/greek guys/a soundscape/silence 9:26
7)a melody of sorts/folk guitar/silence 7:20
