In 2009 Martin Clarke and Alicja Rogalska did a research and residency trip to some regions of the ex Soviet Union like Armenia and Georgia.
The recordings captured rain, people and dogs barking in a rural area and it seams is during the night, a religious man singing and praying, mothers and children talking in a close room, bells of a church, car engines, bird songs like, French people playing a guitar in a café, people attending a church chant, natives playing folk music, water dropping over a metal stuff…
In sum a perfect recreation of the trip that show different landscapes and the every day life of that region.
