Spoken words at 2:48 (English translation): 
For every house evicted, there will be new occupations. For every killing, the cops will pay the price. We are here in firm determination and solidarity and we are showing that we will not be defeated. Get active! We don't have much to lose - but we have our freedom to gain.

Those Were The Days

火の粉 (Sparks)

火花散り火の粉はじける宵の道みつたりで行く爪先明かし

Walking the streets at night. Sparks fly from a machine and fire sparks fall on the street. My feet are bright.

but I was young and foolish and now am full of tears - #4188 (92R33 pc 348) chair house 250602

Music for / inspied by the first line of Crime and Punishment, which reads as; 
At the beginning of July, during a spell of exceptionally hot weather, towards evening, a certain young man came down on to the street from the little room he rented from some tenants who lived in Stolyarnyi Lane, stepped out onto the street, and slowly, almost hesitantly, set off towards the Kokushkin Bridge.

I picked that line, in part because its the beginning of July as I make this and also we've had a spell of hot weather. I read this book probably 25 years ago and read it again at the start of this year.  
For this track I jumped onto Freesound.org and got some street sounds from St. Petersburg and the horse drawn carriage sounds - this seemed to fit the 19th century feel. I new then the music and field recordings should merge together. I wanted tension and the sense of the character in the book being alone with the music I added - soft tension strings and ambient keys.
