The Tupolev Effect

The Tupolev Effect was the first original release by the band Belligerent Ghouls. It was initially intended to be an A-side/B-side single, but the two recordings were stitched together shortly before release. The song itself is experimental and drone-heavy, centering around an unnamed individual who is suffering from PTSD related to surviving an airliner crash.
== Recording and production ==
The individual samples used are as follows:
- The cockpit voice recorder from the 2010 crash of Polish Airforce 101 in Smolensk, Russia
- Part of a scene from the 1979 movie When a Stranger Calls
- A World War 2-era air raid siren, allegedly recorded during the London Blitz
Cingram provided the following field recordings:
- A payphone ringing and being removed from its hook, recorded at an airport in rural Ohio
- The shattering of a tempered glass pane with a hammer
- Several recordings taken from a shortwave radio, including a conversation between two radio pirates talking in what is possibly French.
Cingram was also responsible for primary production, with SFA and Gabriel Winthrop assisting in late-stage mixing and mastering. Kacper Strzemieczny's role in the project is currently unknown.
