Estonian spoken word artist rin la still rides on minimal waves.

While some of the artists do every bit they can to be noticed, others intentionally prefer to hide in the corner and keep themselves firmly in the underground. Not much is known about rin la, minimalistic master of spoken word, who, since he first rose to the musical barricades in the beginning of the year, has kept his profile low and let his music speak. This is our own Estonian Death Grips with hints to trip hop, experimental ambient and noise, and videos that create scarier atmosphere than many horror films intend to. Here is his new piece “thin air”.

Toeta vastutustundlikku ajakirjandust

Infoajastu ja sotsiaalmeedia levik on toonud endaga kaasa aina kiiremad, lühemad ja emotsioonipõhisemad tekstiformaadid ning sellega seoses ka süvenemisvõime kriisi. Nendest trendidest hoolimata püüab Müürileht hoida enda ümber ja kasvatada ühiskondlikult aktiivseid ja kriitilise mõtlemisvõimega noori autoreid ja lugejaskonda. Toimetuse eesmärk on mõtestada laiemalt kultuuri- ja ühiskonnaelu ning kajastada lisaks nüüdiskultuuris toimuvat. Väljaanne on keskendunud rahulikule, analüüsivale ning otsingulisele ajakirjandusele, mis ühendab endas nii traditsioonilised kui ka uuenduslikud formaadid. Sinu toetuse abil saame laiendada kajastatavate teemade ringi ja avaldada rohkem väärt artikleid.

Vinyl record – the Holy Grail of music
