The live debut of Dave Black & Snake Beings, at the Audio Foundation in Auckland, NZ in 2014; and an epic journey half-way around the world, across Eurasia.
Listen
Two itinerant New Zealanders, playing a soundtrack to travel videos by each, collected over years spent living abroad.
The soundtrack infused noise and free improvisation with field recordings and world music elements.
(Track 4 first appeared on fiffdimension.bandcamp.com/album/ngumbang-2015;
we met up again a few years later in Fiji, and recorded fiffdimension.bandcamp.com/album/ruasagavulu-fiji-2020)
