Weird Music: Komarovo - Greg Haines

Band: Greg Haines
Album: Komarovo
Label: Slaapwel Records
Year: 2009
A return to the randomizer. It's time for another one of your suggestions, this time from user BlackMetalMarxist, who has suggested a longform live performance from one Greg Haines. A half hour composition of shuffling lowercase electronics, weighty church organs and beautifully melancholy piano notes. This album gave me a bit of an existential experience when I sat down to listen to it properly. I had tried listening to it before, but the timing never was quite right... But thanks to the randomizer's whims, here I am, experiencing something in tandem with the rather low mood of the preceeding months. Very peculiar indeed... But music that moves me in these ways is always something I'm very fascinated by. Plus, it's genuinely a beautiful composition in its own right

Komarovo is the russified name of a Finnish Karelian village Kellojärvi (Lit. Bell lake). Kellojärvi was ceded to the USSR after the Winter War in 1939.
The village became well known in the 80's in the USSR with singer and actor Igor Skylar's song "Komarovo". Today Komarovo is a part of greater St. Petersburg.

Recently Igor Skylar's song was turned into a propaganda piece by the Kremlin with it being remixed into a phonk version for the game "Atomic Heart". The original was also removed off of Spotify and replaced with the phonk propaganda verison.

Just discover your channel, pretty interesting content thats for sure. Wondering if you would give it a look to the complete Drugged suite by Bass Communion :)?

Wow, this sounds eeeerily similar to tim hecker's dropped piano sketches (especially sketch 1 and 2), which only came out two years later
