ROUND THE CLOCK SVERDLOVSK

Supermen and ichthyanders, chases,podium shows, and other unusual characters and events in a musical compilationby Tesnota Bureau dedicated to the schizo-heroic reality of the Urals.

«The Round the Clock Sverdlovsk mix is a setof compositions by Urals groups and performers of various ages combined withexcerpts from the idiotically legendary Urals Television Agency, which specializedin crime reporting about Yekaterinburg. Reports about other events in the cityalso made it to the screen (for example, about culture and art) and they werepresented in an ironic style that is difficult to describe. As well as shortnews reports, the agency produced full-length films, including about AlexanderGalizdrin’s action Ichthyander’s Wedding and the happening FallCabrioflight, which we simply had to include in this mix.

Welcome to Round the Clock Sverdlovsk!»

Tesnota Bureau worked with the Yeltsin Center archive.
