Special thanks to Matej Loredan for Uganda recordings.

The Slices of the Old Continent series attempts to translate these exploitations into a remix and a deconstruction of the audio materials recorded in the fields and villages of the African continent by Western academics. Historically, the biggest exploiters have been religious institutions – represented on the #1 Slice by a glitch sample of an originally recorded church organ – and the political heads with their minions – represented by a glitch created with a trumpet and prepared reeds. Throughout the series these two glitches portray the disturbance of the traditional vibe by the exploiters and translate the everyday African reality into a soundscape stretched between the beauty of tradition and the wars of today.


You can find additional words about each specific remix if you click on individual track.
