Sultan Hagavik – Pasja: cała ta chujowa piosenka aktorska EP

Published October, 2013

Sultan Hagavik is a Polish duo which manipulates tapes and tape players, “no digital signal processing, all the way analog”. Their plunderphonics is deconstructive, mashing, mangling, disassembling the source material, in this case old Polish records and whatnot, but remaining sensitive to its source, caressing it after all the taunting. The results are somehow harrowing in a haunting and hauntological sense, as if ghosts were let loose, looking for some solace. The saccharine nature of the original material is divorced from its context and places in a neurotic, screeching realm, without the familiarity of its original intent. When melodies emerge as beautiful minutiae, like in Angielska Piosenka, it is all beautiful, and the most precious beauty is always somehow flawed and vulnerable.
