Alva Noto
This Stolen Country Of Mine

German electronic artist and co-founder of the Noton label, Alva Noto, presents the standalone release of his original soundtrack for the film 'This Stolen Country Of Mine', first composed in 2022. The documentary film explores the question of a state's sovereignty in the face of foreign powers, portraying Ecuadorian resistance fighters and journalists who oppose the sell-off of an extensive part of the country's resources to Chinese investors. Touching on these ominous themes, Noto crafts an intimately minimal, but tense ambient electronic score, reflecting the quiet determination of the communal spirit of the Ecuadorian mountain village portrayed in the film.
