A truly evocative, alternative experimental project of the Bulgarian composer Mirian Kolev from Tryavna, here combining music with detailed field recordings of an old Soviet train, one still running on trips along the Bulgarian railway line Gabrovo - Tsareva Livada. The train was manufactured in Riga in 1971, and its various ageing clatterings, whistles, squeaks, groans, rattles, shudders, creaks, hums, and a host of close-mic vibrations from engine to compartment surfaces create their own music, rhythms and voices, a giant ghostly performance capturing something still very much alive, but also from the past. With added electronica and feedback, it makes for a wonderfully eerie, odd late-night musical odyssey, sometimes noisy, sometimes almost deathly quiet, across five lengthy tracks. A fabulously different late-night, vivid listen. More by E.U.E.R.P.I. can be found on their Bandcamp page, as well as this YouTube channel.
