“Russia is based on field recordings from the artist’s trip to Moscow, St. Petersburg and their surroundings in the summer of 2007. The trip was documented in the form of ephemeral poetic memories. The titles are derived from sonic flashbacks. Inspired by acts such as Matmos, Chris Clark, Aphex Twin, Autechre and Squarepusher, YourEye’s music fuses elements of experimental and popular music practices. Its rough and emotional mojo reaches to the realms of ecological sound practitioners such as R. Murray Schafer and Francisco Lopez. Not surprisingly, the Moscow Market track became a finalist in the European Sound Panorama 2011 music contest, which focused on the creative portrayal of European soundscapes. The character of the album arises from working with rough and often unedited materials, embracing clicks, pops, squeaks and noises. Similar to the process of discovering new places, this music is impregnated with bewilderment and surprise. Each track presents a particular place as heard through the aesthetic ears of a particular genre, form and timbral focus.” Pink Pamphlet
