A selection of new releases from London-based label, Regional Bears.

Tracklist:

1. Introduction by Michael Barthel discussing his recent release "Vollmacht" based on Michael Bakunin‘s book "Worte an die Jugend - Prinzipien der Revolution“ ("Words to the Youth - Principles of the Revolution”), published by Packpapier Verlag. The text was first published in 1869 and called on the youth of Russia to revolt against tsarism. Due to the repression of all socialist efforts, the publication was kept secret and the result was the emergence of a conspiratorial spirit among Russian student youth. "Vollmacht" is an acoustic and poetic inquiry into authority and power in human relationships. Ten pieces of LOUD POETRY CHANSON with voice and piano based on Michael Bakunin’s reaction to the circumstances of Russian student Sergei G. Netschajev and his actions. Michael Barthel is based in Leipzig and works with language in writing, sound and visual arts. 0.00–6:24
