I love this file. Its got good sound and the drones put me to sleep almost every time. Padge

With this release Violet (Jeff Surak) gives a sense of coherence to collection of arbitrary found sounds/field recordings recorded during a trip to Russia and the Ukraine relying only on the deliberate placement of the recording devices along with some nominal mixing and processing. The sounds of trains, toilets, clanging pipes, the snoring of sleeping men, noisy refrigerator motors, and the humming of electric light bulbs are among the sounds here that are rearranged, lightly processed, and given a new life. This single track seems to be partitioned into four segments: Segment 1 is a noisy drone-like cacophony of percussive clinks and clanks and the sounds of a flushed toilet (?) (0 - 3:45) ; Segment 2 is minimal and quiet with the sounds of snoring men the main source (3:46 - 6;:40) ; As Segment 2 fades, a dense, ominous drone arrives in Segment 3 (likened to the roaring sounds of on on-coming train) lightly textured with some unidentifiable sounds (6:41 - 14: 30) ; Segment 4 ends the composition with a collage of the unassuming sounds of snoring men, abstract percussive noises, and a thick, but gentle, drone (14:31 - 23:44). -LAJ-
