Year of Recording : 2003

From the CD "Baku : Symphony of Sirens" and the CD "Noises and Whispers in Avant Gardes".

Reconstruction of the sonority of this macro concert organized in the port of Baku (Azerbaján, former--USSR) where there were the sound of steam sirens and boats’ alarms of all the fleet of the Caspian, two artillery batteries, several complete divisions of the infantry regiments, hydroplanes, the steam whistles of twenty-five locomotives, in addition to all the sirens of the factories and industrial complexes of Baku, as well as several choirs of workers. In addition, Avraamov conceived a "machine of steam whistles" (ensemble of 20 to 25 tune sirens) to interpret "the International" within the work. The director or conductor of this macro concert used different signaling flags and the cannon shots allowed to divide the different parts of the work. The reconstruction has been made by taking care of Avraamov’s instructions, published in three local newspapers of Baku (6-11-1922).

I really wish I could extract the sounds of the 25 tune sirens playing a rendition of the International. I find it so charmingly calming to listen to! If anyone finds a good video of just those sounds, please reply with a link to it!

I’m so glad to find this again. I’d heard this in 2016 and was enthralled, then had trouble finding it again for several years. Thanks.

I don't know why ... But I needed this.

Probably part 11 of My Alltime Favorite Composers series. It will probably reach an hour but I'm not sure. But due to a lot of school work, it will gain progress slowly, so it will be uploaded much later. I'm very sorry.

Isn’t this reconstruction credited to Sergei Khismatov elsewhere. It sounds identical.

[swenwhitow]

It sounds like Fallout ambient. Guess it fits perfectly
