Boráros tér 923.

from Gargaj · host Gargaj

Soundtrack for the Still 64k "Invoke" (https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=50135) Download at http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/Gargaj__Boraros_ter_923.ogg The title is a reference to a square in Budapest where I used to wait at 1-2AM for the night bus (number 923) to arrive quite often during the period I was writing the tune. The bus only came every hour so I would need to spend that period sitting in a bus stop. The square itself, as many others, is populated with homeless people, kebab stands, slightly irredentist drinking establishments and dirt, but what made it admirable for me is how "organic" it was - it felt it wasn't prone to trouble, everyone knew the way and routine, and it all evolved into a system. The track is one of the first 64k tracks to use "glitch" i.e. granular editing. A huge chunk of influence belongs to edIT's amazing first album (http://soundcloud.com/edit/sets/crying-over-pros-for-no-reason). Also, if you think the melody reminds you of The Birthday Massacre, you are very correct.
