Mix by Checkpoint 303| Palestinian Territories, Tunisia  [listen]
The electronic experiment kicked off in 2004 when Tunisian sound cutter SC MoCha teamed up with Bethlehem based Palestinian sound catcher SC Yosh to form Checkpoint 303. the idea was to cut, track, fragment and reconstruct the audio soundscape from daily lives in the middle east. new audio reporting on injustice. Paris-based SC MoCha reworks the field recordings made by SC Yosh in the occupied territories into rhythmical transcriptions that range from raw acoustic aggression to synthetic soothing tunes with everything in between.
