about

“Musikaliszer Pinkos” is a title of collection of over two hundred Hebrew religious chants compiled and published by cantor Abraham Berenstein in the year 1927 in Vilna, Poland (today Vilnius, Lithuania). The electronic music on this album was composed by Arturas Bumšteinas using the fragments of melodies found on the Berenstein‘s book. Electronics was recorded in Vilnius on the Russian 70’s analogue synthesizer Polyvox and mixed in EMS, Stockholm, in 2013. The electronic-only version of “Musikaliszer Pinkos” was previously released as cassette on Slip Discs (UK).

The version for Bolt Records was supplemented with the archival recordings of cantors (chazzans) taken from the bootleg CD-Rs that Arturas Bumšteinas once aqcuired in his local fleemarket in Vilnius.
