Corr(u)ption Goes on a Trip

From the prolific and mysterious musician and field recordist

I generally have no idea what exactly is going on in the music attributed to Corruption (or Corrption) on SoundCloud, as it veers from dub to noise to field recording to strange combinations thereof, much of it more like an audio diary entry than like a considered composition. The latest such track, intractably titled “runakuna hunt’a trenpi ñut’usqa wañusqa,” sounds mostly like voice announcements at public transportation hubs in something other than English, perhaps Japanese, which is Corruption’s native tongue. The prolific musician now has well over 2,000 tracks on SoundCloud, and this one isn’t even the most recent. Whatever the track is, it’s a trip, perhaps also literally. It’s a snippet of daily existence that may have been edited to feature highlights, or may have been selected whole for its readymade collage qualities. (And for some reason at the moment embeds aren’t working, so just click through to listen.)
