An album based on a cruel text by Moldavian writer Nicola Esinencu, somewhere in between a hybrid electronic – modern classical oratorio and a concept album.
That Moment is an adaptation of the eponymous text by Moldavian writer Nicola Esinencu. The starting point of That Moment takes place in a real fact, which happened in present-time Moldavia, where a father cut his son's finger with an axe, as a punishment for stealing a bit ofmoney from the father's wallet. From there the author combines the tale and its reality with a caustic irony, interrogating an unbridled capitalist society, where everything and everyone is for sale. The total playing-time is 55 minutes, with seven tracks that serve as seven chapters of an ironic and satiric story about the downward spiral of the capitalist society.
Sopa Boba is a Belgian/Dutch, electronic, modern classical project. The idea behind the form is a so-called Oratorio from the present age which unfolds a dramatic tale within a sociopolitcal framework. The compositons incorporate a neo-classical style string quartet, harsh modular synths and spoken word vocals. It features Pavel Tchikov (
Ogives) and G.W. Sok (The Ex,
Oiseaux-Tempête).
