Born at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as a means to express and exorcise the loneliness and uncertainty it brought and the yearning to communicate we responded with, this collaboration quickly started to focus on the concepts of language and communication themselves. A universal constant for humans and the rest of the animal kingdom alike, communication is the door into getting to know the world that surrounds us; physical touch is communication, glances are communication, art is communication, language is communication.
A testament to humans‘ determination in connecting with each other, even in places where different cultures and tongues meet, both Sabir and Pidgin are languages that developed organically in order to bridge the gaps and understand one another.
Languages express the deepest affection, the harshest of condemnations, seething hatred and utmost fragility; an endless kaleidoscope of emotion the music on this record has tried to capture, mimic and convey-

Glitchworks

The album could be considered an exercise in musical upcycling (or a punk version of the Oval approach). Different glitches from various defective CDs were recorded onto the tracks of a four-track cassette recorder. All pieces on this album were created by mixing down the tracks in different ways. The only sound effects used (in real-time during the mix) were the pan, treble, mid, and bass controls of the tape recorder.
