about

Bluebird Glass & Fallow is a collection of devotional tracks initially composed and recorded in the early 2010s by the now defunct, Tirana-based act; Kasem Haliti Bradford.

Rediscovered in the sound archives of Arkivi Qendror I Zerave (Central Archive of Voices) and curated with the help of Semuel Lala and archivist Tahir Baçolli, Bluebird Glass & Fallow was described by Kasem Haliti Bradford as a fictional derivative of the events that transpired during Operation Silver Wake, Tirana 1997.

A recounting of western tensions building up, pooling within - following the opening of the borders, and then the apt intervention of the US government and it’s extraction of US residents from Albania.

In the original text, Kasem Haliti Bradford’s use of biblical symbolism and etymology referenced and clearly posited biblical figures as political emissaries or entities. Namely - as movements of energy within the surface of a self-contained globe; sourced from an infinitely generous whole.

Bluebird Glass & Fallow as project takes place within the futilities of ideology; the Catholic influence on the work is refocused by Haliti Bradford’s muslim upbringing, an illustration of ideological disconjuction following the totalization of Albania during communism.

Similarly, the work recognizes these futilities as the absolute dept which can not be repaid, thus- recognizing a total governing body, whether it be God, the Albanian State, Hoxha; the obscene father or the governing western proxies and their technology, which entered Albania well before the libidinal groundwork could have been laid. (resulting in a nation of invisible waste)
