Fingers on fire

Cities and Memory - remixing the world

"The music heard mingling with voices suggests music for dancing, but there is nothing here to see. If this recording is found in an archive many years in the future, we’ll have to rely on context and assumptions that could have changed in the intervening period.
"The reworking of this music creates “impossible” instrumental sounds, while imagining a different kind of dance. In the pauses built into the tune, I find a connection with some more modern structures of dance music in which sounds are taken away and brought back."
Olde Hansa, Tallinn reimagined by Isabel de Berrie.
