moriddim unveils first full-length original work. pigs also seen flying. My first uploaded original full-length work here “Otario Fonton.” It’s a piece about injustices and human struggles in Zimbabwe & Nigeria.  Samples were gathered from various interviews on BBC Global News.  Keen ears will hear influences from Orbital, Autechre & Chemical Brothers.   (See the following post for playback) In depth: This is the first in a series of original works that I will be uploading for all to hear. Since 2004, I’ve been writing music like this but I was too afraid to share it with anyone. So I’d hide behind cover songs and remixes (which I still intend to share). Now with an album and performance aspirations coming to fruition, I feel compelled to get over this trepidation and show you’ve all what I’ve been toiling away with for the past 5 years or so.This piece is called Otario Fonton. The title does not have any special significance other than that it represents something unfamiliar and alien - a sentiment I had felt overcome with when listening to more of BBC Global News podcasts towards the end of last year. As an American, I certainly have the world at my fingertips, yet I often find myself consumed with all sorts of nonsense with hardly a significant concern for the enormous world of people around me. With these podcasts, I was presented with all sorts of daily atrocities of unspeakable horror and I felt a compulsion to piece together some of the more emotional responses I could find from immensely talented BBC reporters. Their pathos was always authentic and poignant in such a way that can only be “heard,” in these particular instances.Otario Fonton collects pieces from various interviews concerning desperate situations in Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and Cuba among others. It is a piece meant to incite concern, inspire optimism, and above all percussively destroy a tepid state of over-saturated gluttony for distraction that I’m certain we’ve all felt now and again.I hope you enjoy it.
