super flumina Babylonis

Top of my playlist at the moment is this recent release by Hyaena Fierling (aka Ana Cordeiro Reis). This multidisciplinary artist continues to intrigue me with her mysterious sounds rooted in a deep reflective intellectualism, but please don't let that description distract you from donning the headphones (or slotting out the credit card to support independent creativity)! I was honoured to be able to use her work in the emotive and passionate 'Why is this happening?' video a few posts back. Hope it's not the last collaboration...

Hyaena Reich live in Madrid

...and speaking of Hyaena Fierling Reich...it was this video that first drew my attention. Exemplary and inspiring stuff! You can visit her website here...

Why is this happening?

This video is a result of my concerns over what is happening in the world in places like Ukraine and the plight of asylum seekers in Australia. It seems that 50+ years after the youth rebellion of the 60's that nothing much has changed. The fight for freedom of speech and expression goes on...

I am indebted to Hyaena Fierling Reich (aka Ana Cordeiro Reis) for the use of Dog Day Sunrise as the soundscape. This was originally released as part of the Classwar Karaoke - 0019 Survey compilation available for free download from the Free Music Archive here...
