In The Wayward Regional Transmissions, Ran Slavin approaches a fusion of oriental middleeastern music with abstract glitch, juxtaposing traditional laments and folklore spiritual themes with abstract narratives produced through the use of contemporary digital tools. The merging of acoustically displaced elements of folklore overtones and a more radical approach to sound and musical structure, set in a context that tries to maintain an aerial overview of a contrasting hybrid geographical region, could be described perhaps as a utopian fusion, oriental abstract spiritual music.

Tracks 1, 2, 6 and 8 contain original recordings of Ahuva Ozeri playing lamentations in Ran Slavin’s studio on her three-steel-string Indian instrument, the Bulbul Tarang. Ahuva Orezi was the first female star of mizrahit music, and is nowadays one of the leading singer-songwriters in Israel. Her 1975 song Where’s my Soldier dealt with the disappearance of a soldier from the battlefield and became a major hit, even if the media, claiming that the song demoralized the Israeli audience, almost never played it.
