Recollections VII-VIII

Recollections VII-VIII marks the fourth in a planned series of 7” releases, each
built from Glonti’s expanding archive of Soviet-era recordings. The artwork by
Dmytro Nikolaienko (Day Night) once again reflects the utilitarian aesthetic of
Soviet-era record design.

In 2018, Glonti started collecting LPs of Soviet-era Georgian composers at
Tbilisi’s “Dry Bridge” flea market.The records mostly consisted of classical and
chamber music released on Melodiya, the singular, state owned record label of
the USSR. It was through this process  that the idea of Recollection was born,
as Glonti aimed to create an album that would utilize samples from his growing
collection.
