Global A Go-Go presents:
I recently met a musician from the Moldovan-Ukrainian border named Serge Bulat. I’d classify his music as electronica; Aphex Twin and Bonobo are two artists you might know who Serge has cited as influences. He’s also a field recordist and he integrates those sounds into his music.
Serge has a new album called Omorphita Cornershop and it has a song on it that includes Serge’s recording of the Bulgarian kaval player Theodosii Spassov. I’ve played Spassov’s music on Global A Go-Go before, so that caught my attention right away. The other thing that caught my attention is that Serge says he’s currently based in Virginia. So I reached out to him to get more details.
In the course of our correspondence, Serge asked if I’d like to hear some mixes of the eclectic music that he listens to. You’re going to hear those mixes for yourself this week on Global A Go-Go (Sunday September 29, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site).
I’m presenting Serge Bulat’s Cornershop mixes as Serge created them: two 48-minute sets, one for each of the program’s hours, with no breaks or talking in between, just a continuous flow of music that includes sounds from Moldova, Ukraine and the Roma world, but also from Kurdistan, Palestine, Japan, Africa and more.
