Polka as disruption; polka as resistance; polka as unworlding. The electronics (samples taken from the Memory Moog synthesizer) shape the raw instrumental sounds, guiding them from the chthonic undergrowth to a vibrant and evolving matter. As the music further materializes, it mutates its character several times before gaining momentum and driving towards willful collapse. In the ruble lies the undergrowth for another, perhaps improved, potential pulsating entity.
