Caucasian Frequencies – Imaginary field recordings from Caucasian and Middle East AM Radio

We were. We are. We’ll be. But Xmas night stops the passing time. We opened our toolbox and decided to take a long vacation from paranoia. Do you remember the tale about the blue and the red pill? We choosed to leave, in the sweetest manner. A deep, acid and warm set of angelic analogue sounds brought us far away, between the Bible and Hollywood. Felt like we were hearing the AM radio: incomprensible voices, sound pitches, choires of a distorted reality. We closed our eyes, pulled the plug and started to see lands we have never seen before, in few hours. Sand. Snow. Mountains. Cities. Skies. Cement. Animals. Military posts. Rivers. Blood. Trucks. Women. Poor peasants. Mercedes. Old dacias. Where have we gone?
When we came back, we understood we’ve been so far from home. We choose to present here our dreamy Orientalia speculations, instead of concrete Eastern impressions. The capability to imagine is still important for us. Fortress Europe already decided our reality. But we choosed to dream.
Welcome to Caucasian Frequencies, Plasticrane last effort to preserve an alternative Vision.
Proudly,
Z & G

Liebe Plasticrane Kinder,
after an exploration of the BundesRepublikDeutschland,
in search of inspiration and new plasticrane fellows,
we’re proud to introduce SAUERKRAUT, a recently born
electro-cosmic, psychedelic and obsessive duo based in
the country around Modena, that pays omage to the
ancient cosmic sound of the teutonic land. Enjoy and relax..

“Dear Plasticrane fellows, in the 20th eve of Berlin Wall fall,
we’d like to commemorate one of the band which will remains in Plasticrane’s heart:
LOST HIGHWAY.
The band disbanded a lot of time ago but, shortly after the recording of HUMANA EP
(Plasticrane, 2008), the band produced two other songs.
But then, Lost Highway died and rot. Its body melt with the soil, and became part of the universe. This Ep is Lost Highway last epitaph, which lays in the green plains of northern Italy, precisely on Plasticrane’s server. Visit it in your daily musical excursions and leave a flower in its remembrance.
Thank you and goodnight…Ep!”
