Two Four Legs
The 90s were a twilight time for the Moscow industrial: no one understood what would happen next, whether this scene would remain in the underground or occupy its niche in the mainstream. The heroes of Alyona Mikhailova's film are fearless experimenters with an impressive set of instruments, from scrap iron found in a landfill and homemade sound machines to analog synthesizers. They were united by the desire to sound, and to sound loud. The echo of this rumble is in the memories of musicians and eyewitnesses, gathered together for the first time on the screen.
