Moscow Time: musical expression of Russian angst

Global Beats

Available for over a year

Singer songwriter Synecdoche Montauk performs his song Moscow Time exclusively for BBC Global Beats. With just his voice and a harmoniser, he creates beauty out of the agony of being stuck inside one's own head. His lyrics are inspired by Russia's Silver Age poetry from the first half of the 20th century. (Photo: Russian musician Synecdoche Montauk. Credit: BBC)
