The
Moscow Coup Attempt is the music and film endeavor of Los Angeles based
producer, composer, and covert operative of disenchantment, Derek Whitacre.
The 2005 album "The Failure of Shortwave Radio" was the first release from
TMCA. The album is a stream of unconscious interpretation of failures in
communication of not just nations, but persons. A grand scale assessment
of individuals.
The artistic base of influence for the album lies in "Numbers Stations"
and their influence on world politics, the cold war, espionage, and musical
themes. Many of the motives of "The Failure..." are derived from the musical
interludes of these Numbers Stations. "The Failure of Shortwave Radio" attempts
to capture the creepy and mysterious essence of Numbers Stations as a broader
outlook on humanity and breakdowns in communication wrapped up in the music.
What appears on the surface to be an ambient electronic adventure turns
into the soundtrack of a film. The purpose is to wrap the listener in an
environment that is comfortable, yet unnerving... like a good suspense-thriller.
The second release by TMCA for 2006, "Insomnia," is a continuation, and
at the same time, an expansion of the ideas and themes expressed on "The
Failure of Shortwave Radio." Starting where the first album leaves off,
"Insomnia" is an uninterrupted 6-movement piece covering 40 minutes of sound
and film. The album features the beautiful vocal work of Vera Ostrova, the
voice of Russia's "TheBlueStorm," on the track "Do You Fear Sleep?" The
last portion of the album takes the form of a hypnosis inducing recording
of a truly amazing Numbers Station combined anomaly... 2 overlapping occurrences
with added sound experiments by TMCA.
"Insomnia" comes not only in music form, but also as a film on the special
CD/DVD combo release.
