MOSCOW - (M)Y SWO(O)NING (S)ENDS OUT (C)OLD (W)ARMTH (32’14”)

Heartless City – a Love Story
two years of living in moscow and still it seems impossible for this city to find the right words.
a city of opposites, of systems that overlap and clash. with unrelenting harshness. the droning sound of the subway gives way to winter landscapes of freshly fallen snow and their muted acoustics. ringing noises amid the constant din of the city. the chirping of fowl at the bird market and in the inner courtyards. early electronic instruments like the ANS synthesizer and the theremin. and the russian soul.
