"While creating the track I used sounds from AE Modular and source samples uploaded into a Volca Sample. It was played live and recorded. The story in the source recording depicts race relations in USA as in some fairytale. America looks like the land of tolerance for all minorities and immigrants from all around the world which is just a cheesy propaganda in my opinion. So I've recreated the message to look more real and appropriate. For R.H.K means for Richard H. Kirk from Cabaret Voltaire who died just recently, and my piece is heavily inspired by CV sound and aesthetic."

Composition by Artur Kinal (Synthotherapy).
