Mixtape
by Lucia Udvardyová

For our exhibition Seismographic Sounds – Visions of a New World Lucia Udvardyová from the music blog Easterndaze.net compiled a Mixtape. It is a personal assemblage of fleeting encounters, uncompromising sonics, recordings from house parties and demonstrations. A 20-minute transition through perpetual transition, a looped past-future-past, an ode to the «former» Eastern Europe: from Budapest to Bucharest, Prague to Belgrade, Vienna to Bulgaria, conjuring an imaginary landscape open to contingency and adventure.
