AGF & Various - Dissidentova (2018)

Dissidentova is a poetic, feminist hauntology of Russia from the mid-18th C. to the present day. It finds the widely esteemed sound artist placing her hard-edged, warped, and dynamic production palette (similar to that found on her excellent ’Solidicity’ album) at the service of framing and telling a fascinating, lesser-heard her-story

“The DISSIDENTOVA audio collection is another edition of feminist language exploration by the artist, music producer and poet Antye Greie-Ripatti aka AGF. This time her work focuses on poetry, sound art and the her-story in Russia from the mid-18th century to the present day. AGF chooses 15 iconic figures in Russian culture and creates fragmented tributes, placing them in chronological order. She invited Russian musicians and sound artists to collaborate with her as a reflection of the musical landscape of Russia today.”
