This brilliant recording,‘Acoustics of Resistance’, brings together a range of sound recordings made by Mikhail Karikis – made at different times and in varied locations over recent years. These are woven together with compositional fragments and a text written and spoken by the artist that reflects on the climate crisis The soundscape is of protest chants merged with choral recordings performed by primary school children and the Liverpool Socialist Singers. Karikis tunes in to the sonic activity of socio-political change – the chants, shouts, drums and whistles – and the transformative power of communal voice.
