DIASPORIAN DISSONANCES

The Eastbloc Antifascist Sound Alliance (@eastblocsound) is a community initiative created around the desire to connect an eclectic group of people working with sound in Eastern Europe, post-Soviet space, and Eastern European diaspora. In this geo-cultural context resistance against the rise of right-wing populism and the resurgence of fascism at large is very important. “Building an antifascist alliance around listening, based around sound and music, does not erase our specific experiences, shaped through pacts and ideologies and geopolitical conditions, or even ‘how we survived communism and even laughed,’ (Slavenka Draculic) it does not stand for nations or even forming a power alliance, it stands for this specific diaspora standing up.” The Eastbloc Antifascist Sound Alliance’s first cooperative product is the mixtape “Diasporian Dissonances.” It features more than 30 artists from from the former Eastbloc and the Eastern European diaspora and has been mixed by AGF @poemproducer. “Diasporian Dissonances” is a contribution to BLACK BOX EAST: https://blackboxeast.berlinergazette.de ........................................................... eastbloc antifascist sound alliance presents: DIASPORIAN DISSONANCES mixtape by AGF feat: artist - title Anamaria Pravicencu - Drawing fragment 1 amber amber - intro (@amberamberdj) - Andrea Beton - Suché Lúky (@maryc) sonicwilderness BRNO 2021 - ambient screams AGF - what is an “eastbloc” Robertina Šebjanič, Ida Hiršenfelder, Manja Ristić (@manja-ristic) - Sounds of the EarthSea Timur Dzhafarov [@johnobject] - 500mg [Standard Deviation] - If-Only Trinh & Linh Ha - jam (Blindsignal Hanoi) Dengue Drums (FOOZOOL Remix)@larasarkissian amber amber - Beeing from the East [poem] In My Talons - Thunder (@clgolem "Future in Old Hungarian" Version) Avtomat - 01.
