"Old Child" is a piece for soft voice and eerie sounds. Sound artist Mitko Mitkov came upon the expression "old child" randomly in an online collection of Bulgarian slang and it invoked recollections of his childhood in the late 90s in Southeast Europe. A period of time when the world was small and accessible mainly through pirate VHS copies of Hollywood movies, usually dubbed by a single voice actor. In the sound-based work, that he usually makes under the alias Dialog mit der Jugend, Mitkov collaborates with musicians in order to create a soundscape architecture for the words he writes to live in. He is interested in the aberrations of memories and the translation of those into something palpable from the outside. In this sense, "Old Child" is an artifact of a certain time and place, as well as a tribute to the ghosts inhabiting it. An old child does not show interest in playing with their peers but prefers to spend their time listening to seniors talking about long-gone times.
