Moscwa

Two years of living in Moscow and still it seems impossible to find the right words for this city. A city of contrasts, of overlapping and colliding systems. With unrelenting harshness. The droning sound of the subway gives way to winter landscapes of freshly fallen snow and their muted acoustics. Chimes amid the constant din of the city. Birds' twittering at the bird market and in the inner courtyards. Archetypical electronic instruments like the ANS synthesizer, rhythmicon and theremin. And the russian soul.
