sopa boba
Sopa Boba is a Belgian/Dutch, electronic, modern classical project, run by G.W. Sok (The Ex,Oiseaux-Tempête), Pavel Tchikov (Ogives) and Jean Vangebeergen (playwright). The idea behind the form is a so-called Oratorio from the present age which unfolds a dramatc tale within a sociopolitcal framework.
The compositons incorporate a neo-classical style string quartet, harsh modular sytnhs and spoken word vocals.
"That Moment » (Sub Rosa, 2025) is an adaptaton of the eponymous text by Moldavian writer Nicoleta Esinencu.
The starting point of That Moment takes place in a real fact, which happened in present-tme Moldavia, where a father cut his son’s fnger with an axe, as a punishment for stealing a bit of money from the father’s wallet. From there the author combines the tale and its reality with a caustc irony, interrogatng an unbridled capitalist society, where
everything and everyone is for sale. The album, somewhere in between a hybrid electronic – modern classical oratorio and a concept album, with seven tracks that serve as seven chapters of an ironic and satric story about the downward spiral of the capitalist society.
