Salsburg, Nathan: Landwerk No. 2 (Vinyl LP)

A second volume of compositions built around samples from 78-rpm phonograph records - in this case, two klezmer sides, one Yiddish folk song, and one tune by a Slovak miners’ orchestra from Northeastern Pennsylvania, home of six generations of Salsburgs.

While the first volume just happened to coincide with the first months of 2020’s problematic peculiarity, No. 2 was undertaken in the depths of the late summer and early fall, when political / social / existential despair hung at their heaviest.

1. V (Through A Crystal Unluminous)
