I admit I had never heard of Rosa Luxemburg. At least, not that I know of. So reading about her as preparation for reviewing these 3″ triggers showed that she was one exciting person. I might need to read more about her in the future. However, the vocal sample in the beginning is very probably not by her because I can’t imagine the audio recordings from the early 1900s had that quality yet.
And from that moment on, a massive HNW – or better said, three of them, each precisely 6 minutes and thirty-six seconds – is/are ejaculated from your speaker. Analog / digital / pedal-based? I couldn’t tell you. Massive? Hell yeah. Interesting? Well, be honest, how interesting can an HNW be? Modulations and manipulations are all over the place and composition-wise; the 1st is the most static, and most activity and variations are found in the 2nd. The third one is also relatively static but ends with a vocal sample stating, ‘We must either move forward into socialism or fall back into barbarism’.
So listening to the sounds, hearing the samples, and reading the title got me to the point that I had to educate myself about Rosa Luxemburg. And isn’t that what art is about?
