19 November 2021
Sonic Expeditions to the European Rustbelt is O.J.A.I.'s second vinyl LP. The tracks on the record are composed from sound recordings of underpasses, tunnels, obsolete machines, and scrap metal, made during extensive walks in post-industrial landscapes across Charleroi (Belgium) and Chisinau (Moldova). The musique concrète layer is enhanced by piano accompaniment by Tim Löhde. The photo on the album cover was taken by Victoria Tihonova.
