About "Cold (a Lament)"
Kholodno (plach) (Cold (a lament)
Inspired by a tape with folk laments recorded during a folklore expedition. Rada was impressed with a lament sung by an old woman, her voice changing from ultrasonic vibes to wheezing low pitches. The song wasn't "written" as usual, it appeared undeliberately and could be compared to "the stream of onsciousness". 'Cold' attributes not to the weather, but to the state of a dying soul.
