Detail
We found this cassette in Anton's old suitcase abandoned in a cold garage in Minsk for more than ten years. On it, we discovered the master tape of an album, which Anton had been producing for almost two decades since the early nineties. The album was finally mixed to this cassette in 2010 and titled "Billion Yellow Birds." But now the tape crumbles off; the cassette was damaged by freeze and moisture.
The album stretches between memories of time as "those times" on the one hand, and the influence of time as a process of change, entropy, on the other. That new concreteness is sobering and standing you up to face the fact of death.
The album arose in 1991 in a flash; it drops slowly into reality in 2010. But to be concluded it required what happened afterward—10 years of oblivion in the damp, cold garage.
