Soundtracks from the films by Camilo Restrepo: Cilaos by Christine Salem and La Bouche by Mohamed “Diable Rouge” Bangoura.

Carried by the spell-binding rhythm of the maloya, a ritual chant from Reunion Island, Cilaos, starring CHRISTINE SALEM, explores the deep and murky ties that bind the dead and the living. La Bouche is an experimental musical featuring Guinean percussion master MOHAMED BANGOURA, loosely based on his own story. The two films form an informal duet, with both soundtracks produced in full on this record.

purge.xxx releases music. It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist.

In 1991, in the last year of the Soviet Union's existence, Melodiya decided to embark on a pioneering experiment in product marketing by launching the Signal Series of records. Each record in this series contained fragments of four new albums to be released, and the envelopes contained sketches of their artwork. The listener was invited to vote for their favorite artist by sending a written request to the major's editorial office to order the record through the label's official store. In essence, Melodiya launched the process of the first democratic elections in the Soviet Union.

In total, the series included 10 LPs with fragments of upcoming albums by 40 artists respectively. Most of them were bands playing the fashionable gorby rock - the so-called “red wave” guitar music of Gorbachev's perestroika period with screaming socio-political lyrics and manifestos. However, the series also included music by Russian art-rock bands, which at that time had already become cult in underground circles and had their own army of listeners (AuktsYon, NOM, NOL, Object of Mockery and others).

I compiled this episode from the music of projects that were less honoured by listeners - their albums were never released on Melodiya in full form. And the label was shut down shortly after the release of the last LP in the series. You will hear outsider new wave, occult hard rock, national reggae, free jazz and mesmerising folk. I'm kidding though - one project on this tracklist did release their debut LP on Melodia. You have one hour to guess who it was.

Time travel has long been a tantalizing concept in both science fiction and theoretical physics. While we often imagine time travel as a physical journey through past and future landscapes, it can also be experienced in a more abstract yet profound way—through sounds.

Sounds of the Past

The past resonates with echoes that we can sometimes recreate or reimagine. Ancient musical instruments, historical recordings, and even the ambient noise of a bygone era—such as the clatter of horse-drawn carriages or the crackle of early radios—allow us to immerse ourselves in history. Time capsules of sound, like phonographs and vinyl records, are portals to another time. Through these, we don’t just hear the past; we feel its texture and rhythm.

Imagine walking into a cathedral where Gregorian chants are sung exactly as they were centuries ago. In that moment, the separation between now and then dissolves. Similarly, technologies like audio restoration bring forgotten voices and music back to life, giving us a sensory experience of eras we’ve never lived.

Sounds of the Future

The future, by contrast, is harder to predict. What will the world sound like in 50 or 100 years? Speculative sound design in films and media offers some possibilities—mechanical drones, synthetic symphonies, and alien languages. Advances in technology might also bring us auditory experiences we can’t yet conceive, like music tailored to our emotions in real-time or soundscapes of entirely virtual worlds.

The idea of time travel through sound becomes even more fascinating when paired with concepts like acoustic archaeology or audio synthesis. Could we someday accurately recreate the voice of a long-dead figure based on historical data? Could we design sounds that represent the potential noises of a future city or a space station?

Living Between Past and Future

We live at an intersection of temporal sounds. While digitized archives allow us to dive into historical audio, modern soundscapes are already capturing this era for future generations. Every recording, from a bustling city street to a personal podcast, becomes a thread in the fabric of history.

Time travel, then, doesn’t require a machine. It requires listening—tuning into the echoes of the past and the imagined vibrations of what’s to come. Sounds are a bridge, a timeline written not in years but in waves and frequencies. What does your time sound like? What echoes will you leave behind?
