8 days in Chernivtsi

René Margraff · 2020

Recorded during an eight-day residency in Chernivtsi, a Ukrainian city whose layered Central European and Soviet history seems to seep directly into the music, Margraff constructs slow-moving pieces from field recordings and processed tones that feel rooted in a specific place and time. The textures carry an archival quality — worn, dusty, unhurried — as though the sounds themselves are absorbing the city's accumulated memory. Quiet enough to dissolve into a room, but particular enough to hold attention.
