Bad Tuner 4:21 (Con María)

Here's a track that meshes beatswith poetry. The vocals aren't really vocals—it's a poetry reading in Spanish from a Mexican poet called Maria.

This is all tied together by a producer living in Brooklyn called Bad Tuner, aka Jozef Sergei Dimitrov. He has an interesting background—orphaned in Yugoslavia before being raised in Russia and eventually renouncing his Russian passport in favor of studying audio science out of Brooklyn. Update 2022: apparently the whole Russian orphan story was all made up. Bad Tuner is actually a guy named Theo from Brooklyn.

His interest in sound comes through in this track. If you listen carefully there's unusual sounds peppered throughout. I noted them especially in thedying seconds.
