Futura Resistenza / Belgium / 2025 / 2 x 10"
Là is an immersive, politically charged sound journey – a lament for the Al Naqab desert in Palestine. It is the result of a collaboration between Sirah Foighel Brutmann, Eitan Efrat, Laszlo Umbreit, and Ot Lemmens. The album combines acoustic instruments like flute and cymbals with processed electronics and mechanical sounds.
The track Ensemble is made from sound recordings of eleven 16mm film projectors, playing simultaneously and in intervals, creating a texture centered around a single pitch – La/A.
The tracks For Her, There, and No are recordings of live sessions played by Laszlo Umbreit and Eitan Efrat.
The album also features an extended text by Rose Higham-Stainton titled Strategies for Survival, spread across a 12-page booklet.
