Flag of South Ossetia

Aspect Ratio 1:2

The flag of South Ossetia was adopted in 1990. South Ossetia, or the State of Alania, is a Russian-backed disputed territory, claimed by Georgia, with limited recognition. The territory adopted their current flag a few months before declaring independence in 1991. The flag, which is near identical to the flag of North Ossetia-Alania, was created by Alan Chochiyev (Алан Чочиев), former leader of the Ossetian national assembly and historian of South Ossetia. The flag is said to represent the social structure of Ancient Ossetian society, with the colors corresponding to different social groups. The white represents the clergy, the red the military, and the yellow the ordinary people. The colors also represent purity, courage, and wealth/prosperity respectively.

Flag of Abkhazia

Aspect Ratio 1:2

The flag of Abkhazia was adopted in 1992. The Republic of Abkhazia, which is claimed by Georgia and only recognized by four UN member states, obtained de facto independence in 1993, though the region has had some level of autonomy since an independent Georgia was created in 1918. The flag itself is based on the banner of the medieval Kingdom of Abkhazia. The open right hand means "Hello to friends! Stop to Enemies!" The seven stars refer to the seven historical regions of the nation (Sadzen, Bzyp, Gumaa, Abzhywa, Samurzaqan, Dal-Tsabal, and Pskhuy-Aibga). The alternating green and white stripes signify the tolerance that allows Christians and Muslims to peacefully coexist.

ALT ~ Beavers / Disputed Territory

We’ve been reviewing the field recording and soundscape work of Abby Lee Tee for years.  But when the artist announced a new moniker ~ ALT ~ and a sidestep to turntablism, we raised an eyebrow; after all, this is a significant left turn, indie music’s equivalent of Garth Brooks becoming Chris Gaines (and we all know how that turned out).  Then we heard “Beavers.” “Beavers” is not on the EP, but…
