An abandoned farm near my town. From time to time I go there to see what stage of decay it is in right now, and it has been going on since the fall of communism in 1989. Since then, the place has been abandoned and subject to more and more destruction. So I took the camera and shot several tens of minutes of still and moving images. This video brings the static, tinted with a dark soundtrack of hopelessness and decay that oozes from this place. I helped some scenes with sounds to evoke events from his past. You will hear goats, pigs and cows munching on their food, much like humans during some activities. Also machines and weather manifestations.
So sit comfortably on one of the torn, dusty mattresses and welcome to the first of my "dead places", in the series that I'm starting with this video.
By the way, did any of you spot the cat in the video?
If so, let me know in a comment. All current Ambient Shrine recordings from Bandcamp are free to the first to name a time where the cat is.
Thank you for watching & listening.
