NOVEMBER 1, 2023 – KYIV

Obriy – Dubplanet X – Pitch Patrol

Hi Gianmarco, thanks for the invitation to be part of your mission, my title is Oleksandr, and I’ve been a music producer & DJ for greater than 18 years. From a younger age, I used to be lucky to be surrounded by individuals who have been, to some extent, related to digital music. Accordingly, I had entry to a big library of varied electronics. At that point, virtually all my mates have been making music, and we even had a pleasant rivalry, which had a constructive influence on my manufacturing. I felt myself evolving with every monitor, transitioning from primitive varieties to extra complicated ones. This was an important purpose for persevering with. To acquire a deeper understanding of sound, I took up deejaying and have become a resident at a membership, enjoying 2-3 instances every week. This gave me the chance to check my music, and it was an exquisite expertise.

Has the full-scale invasion modified your setup and the best way you concentrate on music and sound typically and has it had an influence in your playlist?

At the time of the invasion, I used to be already an achieved musician and producer, however now, once I replicate on conflict themes I can add the sounds of explosions and sirens to my compositions, though typically I do what I did earlier than the conflict.

My setup is a laptop computer and headphones, each earlier than the conflict and after, nevertheless it wasn’t at all times like that, I had a studio with a number of synthesizers, drum machines, results processors. This was an vital expertise that led me to the purpose at which I’m now. The conflict modified me, however not my playlist, my musical preferences have been fashioned over many years, maybe that is the rationale for my steadfastness.

You launched two albums over the previous few months underneath your monikers Dubplanet X and Pitch Patrol. Have each albums been produced solely after the full-scale invasion and in that case has the present scenario influenced their sound in any approach?

The conflict influenced the organizational side of labor on releases, and partly the content material. I started to worth time and make extra assured choices, I see how puzzles are remodeled into an image.

Work on Minimalni Privatni lasted for about 3 years, and earlier than the conflict I had no thought how you can launch this materials, what tracks ought to be included within the album. This album was largely influenced by my collaboration with the digital mission Foa Hoka. I created 2 albums for them, and gained plenty of helpful expertise for myself, which I utilized in lots of compositions.

If we speak about NEVIDOMI, I created this launch fairly shortly, over 3 weeks. I needed to present a way of safety to those that are consistently at risk, who hear horrible sounds and see dying. My music is a component of recent Ukrainian tradition, a mirrored image of the truth wherein I stay.

What influence has the full-scale invasion had each in your private {and professional} life?

War evokes horror and worry, it’s actually scary, countless casualties and destruction. It has affected my character, however it’s nonetheless obscure the size of it, it’s an ongoing course of. Now I respect the time spent with household and mates, I stay within the second and get psychological aid from working onerous, it retains me in line, so sure, it has affected my private life and in addition, partly, my skilled actions.

Where are you now and have you ever been displaced by conflict at any level?

I’m now in Chernihiv, I used to be proper there for the primary month of the conflict, being underneath heavy shelling, with out mild and water, and with out understanding how lengthy this might take, so the choice was made to go away town by means of humanitarian corridors, I headed to Kyiv, which at the moment was additionally subjected to heavy shelling, nevertheless it was somewhat safer there. After being there for a while, I acquired a suggestion from mates to go to Uzhhorod, I agreed, after residing there for some time, I met individuals who have been concerned in charity occasions, so I turned a part of a stand-up sequence present, we collected cash for numerous funds to assist the wounded, I collaborated with them till we left for Chernihiv

Have you observed any adjustments in your sonic setting for the reason that full-scale invasion?

I observed that some noises trigger me nervousness. I attempt to work on these fears, convert these sounds into results for tracks. The nervousness doesn’t subside, however I shortly come to grasp what precisely the sound was: a motorbike, a robust wind, or thunder, however the first response is at all times alarming, it’s a must to react to all sounds.

Are there any Ukrainian releases from the previous 12 months that you simply really feel have helped you to make sense of present occasions?

So much turned clear after 2014 and a few of my mates who took half within the Revolution of Dignity even went to Donbass. Generally talking, a few of the latest releases may make clear the main points of present occasions, however typically an understanding of the general scenario has lengthy been fashioned.

How do you are feeling concerning the inclusion of “conflict sounds” in latest releases by Ukrainian artists and are there any particular sounds you discover triggering?

It sounds too exaggerated, and that is regular for an audio marketing campaign. These compositions are extra geared toward Western listeners, I don’t know individuals who hearken to them in Ukraine.

How do you see the digital music scene growing underneath current circumstances in Ukraine?

I believe the Ukrainian scene is at a really early level of formation, as a result of lack of correct media assist – all the things is occurring at a sluggish tempo. If we speak about my metropolis (Chernihiv), the place 300,000 folks stay, now we have no golf equipment or digital occasions in any respect.

After a 12 months and half for the reason that full-scale invasion, what would you say the West nonetheless will get flawed about Ukraine?

As I see it, army help is critical, however inadequate, and the West has its personal causes for this.

 

NOVEMBER 1, 2023 – LVIV

Anton Malinovskiy

I used to be born within the small city Snihurivka  – it’s within the south of Ukraine, within the Mykolaiv area. I’ve been working as a journalist for about 7 years, I’ve been engaged in up to date artwork for about 5 years and music for six months.

As you’ll be able to perceive, I don’t have plenty of musical expertise, I began doing it solely in May 2023. Then I spent plenty of time with my pal Max [Максим Баєв] and we joked so much about the truth that you can begin writing noise, purely for enjoyable. Max already had a musical previous, and I didn’t perceive something about it.

But regularly the joke became curiosity and I began listening to plenty of noise and experimental music (largely Ukrainian). Then I assumed that it was sufficient for me to hear, I needed to create and put a few of my very own meanings into it, so I began to review music little by little and to write down it. Here I instantly need to thank the identical Max, as a result of his recommendation was and stays essential for me.

And though I’ve been doing music for a short while, I can’t say that it’s one thing fully new. That is, sure, the shape and media are new, however the essence stays the identical – I proceed to create conceptual artwork, it’s simply that whereas earlier than it was visible, now it has moved to an audio format. After all, any monitor is a separate work with its personal that means, spectrum of feelings and emotions that it could evoke, identical to within the visible conceptual artwork that I’m extra used to.

Has the full-scale invasion modified your setup and the best way you concentrate on music and sound typically, and has it had an influence in your playlist?

Yes, it has modified so much. If we speak particularly concerning the perspective to music, then sure, all the things has modified radically, as a result of it was in these circumstances that I started not solely to hearken to music, but additionally to create it – that’s why the perspective actually modified. However, I stay a listener as effectively, and there was a interval someday in the summertime of 2022 when music helped me so much to maintain me grounded and never let my psychological well being issues devour me.

Speaking of the playlist, the adjustments have been additionally drastic. Now it in all probability consists of 90 p.c of Ukrainian performers, and one other 10 goes to numerous artists from Japan, Australia, Germany, and many others. What has fully disappeared from there are russian performers. Yes, sadly, earlier than the full-scale invasion I listened to some russian artists, nevertheless, now I think about it a direct sponsorship of the aggression, as a result of cash from royalties by means of taxes is remodeled into rockets.

You are additionally an artist and again within the fall of 2021 you posted the video Краткая схема Апокалипсиса (A Brief Outline of the Apocalypse), the place you hinted on the inevitability of the looming tragedy. How ready would you say you have been to the full-scale invasion?

I very often take into consideration some international issues, as now I typically take into consideration attainable choices for the event of occasions, considering two main wars already. Then it was additionally like that, I paid consideration to the coronavirus, the russian military on the borders, huge forest fires – and thought “possibly issues should not so cool.”

And initially of 2022, I wrote a number of articles about whether or not there can be a conflict, and there was plenty of communication with numerous kinds of army or military-related folks. Many of them stated: everybody ought to resolve prematurely what they may do if a full-scale conflict breaks out. If the reply is to go to a safer place, then it’s good to put together all the things prematurely.

Therefore, throughout the first explosions, my girlfriend and I had a plan to go away Kharkiv (we lived there on the time of the full-scale invasion), which we carried out by leaving for the Cherkasy area.

Does this imply I used to be prepared for a full scale invasion? Formally, sure. In truth, no, as a result of it’s unimaginable to be ready for the truth that your whole earlier life can be destroyed in a single second. To be trustworthy, I don’t even know if anybody was mentally prepared for this.

Where are you now and have you ever been displaced by conflict at any level?

Now I stay in Lviv, earlier than the full-scale invasion I lived in Kharkiv. I didn’t need to depart there, I had an awesome neighborhood there, a bunch of mates, and an understanding of what I would like from life.

Due to a full-scale invasion, all of it disappeared, so I needed to journey across the nation somewhat in quest of myself. I lived in Odesa, Kyiv and now I finished in Lviv. I really feel good right here, as a result of right here I discovered excellent individuals who have develop into near me and an attention-grabbing neighborhood. By the best way, I plan to regularly present this neighborhood to Ukraine and the world, creating thematic occasions with experimental music – so there are plenty of attention-grabbing issues forward.

You launched two albums over the previous 12 months, 90 seconds to midnight and afterlove. What are you able to inform us about their manufacturing course of and the way influenced are these works by the conflict each by way of sound and idea?

In truth, the method of making music is normally very fast and straightforward for me. That is, I can go every week or two with out writing a single melody, after which the idea and sound are put collectively in my head and I write an album in three days. For occasion, afterlove, was actually written in three days. This is a form of lyrical introduction, wherein I perceive the subject of affection and all the things that occurs after it. I believe it’s vital to speak about such matters throughout the conflict, as a result of if not now, when?

By the best way, the following album can be concerning the seek for a metaphorical backyard – a spot of full concord, which can also be vital within the present circumstances. This launch, nevertheless, is just not so “fast”, I’ve been engaged on it for greater than a month.

90 seconds to midnight – this launch was already far more related with the conflict. Even with two. It was written as a response to the unfold of aggression on the planet. Now, along with russia’s conflict towards Ukraine, a Hamas assault on Israel has been added, which entails a attainable escalation of the battle if Iran intervenes there by means of its proxy forces and the United States, which these proxy forces have been upsetting for a number of weeks.

Looking at this, one involuntarily thinks that such occasions can result in the Third World War. And it’s scary to even suppose what it could be like. Actually, that is what I’m serious about on this launch, as a result of “90 seconds to midnight” is the time proven by the Doomsday Clock.

Are there any Ukrainian releases from the previous 12 months and a half that you simply really feel can assist make sense of present occasions?

The first – “vomit the guts neglect the thoughts” by John Object. He is considered one of many musicians who went to defend Ukraine with weapons in hand. He recorded this composition on a damaged piano in one of many front-line cities throughout his service. I used to be extremely impressed by the facility of this music.

The second is “Russia Delenda Est” by Ivan Skoryna. This is the work of my pal, whom I tremendously respect for her political activism and place. Actually, the title of the monitor is an interpretation of the expression Carthago delenda est – Carthage have to be destroyed. For me, it is a army march for our folks.

How do you are feeling concerning the inclusion of “conflict sounds” in latest releases by Ukrainian artists and are there any particular sounds you discover triggering? Also, how do you are feeling about bayraktar-core music?


I’m very, very, very towards the inclusion of standard “sounds of conflict” in tracks. The identical applies to using such sounds at exhibitions and so forth. Because the conditional sound of an air alarm can develop into a set off for an individual with PTSD inflicting a most damaging expertise – I actually witnessed such a scenario when a lady heard the sound of an alarm at an exhibition and he or she began having a panic assault. In this matter, one have to be very delicate and perceive that not all the things might be executed for the sake of hype.

And bayraktar-kor is, after all, a separate sort of “love”. In normal, I perceive that on the time of the start of a full-scale invasion, such music was wanted to assist the final combating spirit of the folks, to indicate unity, and so forth. But when it continues into the second 12 months of a full-scale invasion, it’s already form of bizarre. Just parasitizing on the subject of conflict, nothing extra.

Has the position of music in Ukraine shifted from considered one of leisure to embody the expression of id, communication, and emotional and bodily survival?


Yes, I believe so. Although it’s in all probability not value counting on my opinion, as a result of I’m primarily fascinated about underground initiatives, the place such matters are sometimes of main significance, it’s tough for me to say a lot about standard pop music.

But, positively, Ukrainian music has develop into an important cultural marker. We develop, we develop into self-aware, we discover and present our id. And this is essential to do, as a result of it’s tradition that varieties a nation, I imagine. This is what is going to present the world how we differ from the russians and why they aren’t the identical factor, that is what is going to present that we can’t discover a widespread language with them – and can clarify why. Because we’re fully totally different, and music can present this.

You have addressed a sequence of conflict associated matters in your efficiency artwork together with “widespread tongue” concerning the false impression that Ukrainians and “ruzzians” must discover a widespread language, and “behind the barrier” which takes the sandbags used to guard monument in Ukraine as a metaphor for emotional remoteness. What would you say the West nonetheless will get flawed about Ukraine and may artwork and / or music be simpler as an explainer than many phrases?

First of all, I’m very grateful to Europe and different allies for his or her assist and sensitivity to the Ukrainians who got here to your international locations, you’re saving multiple life. But sure, there are some individuals who for some purpose misunderstand the essence of this conflict, they suppose that it’s attainable to agree on one thing with the russians, that it’s attainable to present them territory or one thing else. No you cannot. This is our land, for which our folks give their lives. If the russian authorities come right here, it will likely be hell for all residents. Because occupation is just not peace, it’s a huge focus camp.

Therefore, I convey my opinion as finest I can – by means of artwork or music. Some folks do it in different methods, however that is could personal approach. It is tough for me to name such strategies simpler than phrases, as a result of they’re metaphorical photographs – with out reinforcement with phrases, they in all probability gained’t work as effectively. But they may positively make you concentrate on what’s already good.

Has the sonic setting you reside in modified in any respect for the reason that full-scale invasion?


I can positively say that my notion of sounds modified, and this occurred in a number of levels. The first stage, evidently the listening to obtained worse. You hearken to see if one thing is flying, if there are any explosions, and so forth. Then you start to be frightened even by some easy sounds comparable to a slamming door.

And then the second stage got here to me, when explosions turned one thing of a daily prevalence – this was throughout my life in Kyiv within the fall and winter of 2022. At that point, russia fairly actively shelled town and all of Ukraine as an entire. The explosions turned one thing so acquainted that sooner or later I finished even being attentive to them and went out into the hall. Now by some means loud sounds are perceived otherwise. It’s as in the event that they don’t exist. The solely thought (if it’s not an explosion) – oh, it’s good to document it after which course of it by some means.

Which guide / movie / album / music / conventional dish / podcast / weblog / art work / constructing / meme finest captures Ukraine for you?


Here I’ll make a disclaimer: I’ll let you know concerning the meme that finest displays Ukraine, in my view, however it isn’t the meme that I like

Just a little background: within the fall of 2022, Margo Reznik, an artist from Kyiv, and I did a mission for a residency wherein we explored memes. There, we simply raised the query of which memes replicate Ukraine. We got here to the conclusion that some of the influential memes is “russian warship – go fuck your self”.

It was an extremely unifying motion when it started to unfold by means of the community and even reached the official Ukrainian authorities rhetoric. Therefore, objectively, the meme that unfold to all ranges of the state might be known as the one which finest explains it.

By the best way, it nonetheless lives, for instance, in some postironic interpretations.

Who ought to I interview subsequent and what ought to I ask them?

Prince Buba. This is identical Max with whom we began making experimental music. He is a musician who performed in punk bands in Luhansk till 2014, and now he typically interprets the world and his expertise by means of the prism of metamodernism in experimental music. I extremely advocate speaking to him about reminiscence and his approach of trying on the world.

P.S. The combine I’m attaching incorporates tracks from the 90 seconds to midnight EP, in addition to just a few tracks from the upcoming album it’s all concerning the backyard, which can be launched round mid november.

 

 

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 – MANCHESTER

Sony Synth

My title is Borys, I come from town of Dnipro. My background in music is relatively easy – I didn’t research music idea nor did a music diploma however I used to be at all times fascinated with music and sound itself. I began making music in 2015 once I heard one hip-hop monitor for the primary time and thought to myself that I need to make one thing comparable. Fast ahead to 2019 I visited my first underground digital music membership in Zaporizhzhia metropolis and was so hypnotised and amazed by the complexity, concord and association of sounds in every monitor that I obtained impressed to start out and hold making digital music. And in the identical 12 months I launched my first EP – PURA.

Has the full-scale invasion modified the best way you concentrate on music and sound typically, and has it had an influence in your playlist?

I’d say so, sure. My playlist positively turned extra eclectic and the sound of my tracks turned extra broad. I began making hard-hitting storage, breakbeats, plenty of rominimal and hypnose-induced tracks in addition to old-school hip-hop.

You are at the moment primarily based in Manchester. What has your expertise of February 24, 2022 been like?

It was very chaotic and surprising. I used to be in Kyiv on the time and fortuitously sufficient my father was there as effectively. I woke as much as the loud knocking on my door at 6:00 am. As I opened it my father instructed me that the conflict had began. At that point my thoughts was speeding and my coronary heart was racing as I heard fighter jets flying by and explosions going off, so I packed all of my requirements (that are my music gear items; funnily sufficient, I even forgot a few of my very important identification) and we began going again to my house metropolis – Dnipro.

As somebody residing within the UK, how would you say the Ukrainian digital music scene is perceived in a global context?

Depends on the nation general. For occasion, I do know Berlin is aware of very effectively about Ukrainian rave tradition and the underground scene, for the reason that kinds are form of comparable. Here within the UK I haven’t met many individuals who know concerning the Ukrainian scene specifically however they know Ukrainian artists. I’m certain I’ll discover some extra connoisseurs very quickly.

Are there any Ukrainian releases from the previous 12 months and a half that you simply really feel can assist make sense of present occasions?

Yes. I’ve seen plenty of labels and artists launch totally different EPs, albums, singles and normal initiatives in assist of Ukraine. One launch that stands out for me is Love for Ukraine by H24 Musique which might be discovered on Bandcamp. They have been capable of join enormous artists that determined to assist the trigger and donate their tracks for this enormous and influential compilation, test it out! Also Peshka, who’s a DJ and producer from Mariupol, has been doing plenty of stuff to unfold data on what’s going on in Ukraine. JorDee and David Kareyan are additionally honorable mentions.

How do you are feeling concerning the inclusion of “conflict sounds” in latest releases by Ukrainian artists and are there any particular sounds you discover triggering? Also, how do you are feeling about bayraktar-core music?


The entire sonic setting of Ukraine has modified for the reason that conflict began so it’s only pure for musicians, artists and sound designers to seize this transformation and implement it into their artwork for various causes. I’m fortunate sufficient to haven’t developed any triggers or PTSD from what is occurring in the intervening time however I do know those who did.

Regarding bayraktar-core, in my view, there’s a very skinny line between expressing your self, your true emotions and feelings by means of artwork and utilizing conflict as a lift in your profession. Some songs turned virtually like nationwide anthems, as a result of they’re real, whereas others simply really feel manufactured and contrived.

What would you say the West nonetheless will get flawed about Ukraine and have you ever had any awkward conversations concerning the present scenario in Ukraine with the UK mates and acquaintances?

The conflict is being portrayed otherwise relying on the area. Even although the narrative could possibly be comparable and proper, some issues could possibly be closely twisted and tweaked. All in all, lots of people right here within the UK, and different international locations as effectively, consider it as a fancy problem and are a bit misplaced on the topic. But nearly all of them perceive that Ukraine is a heroic nation that’s doing the precise factor.

Who ought to I interview subsequent and what ought to I ask them?

Definitely attain out to JorDee and Peshka. As effectively as the fellows from Freeture (@freeture.music on Instagram) – Yung Berkut and Lucian Forseti.

 

 

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 – KYIV

Walakos

I’m Andrii Sokolov, an digital musician, producer, sound engineer and designer from Kyiv. In addition to normal monitor manufacturing, I participated in theater performances and wrote music for them. Together with my colleagues, I created trendy digital soundtracks for silent archival movies of the Oleksandr Dovzhenko Studio and offered them stay. I additionally created charity live performance excursions, wrote music for promoting and made sound design for some initiatives.

Has the full-scale invasion modified your worldview and the best way you concentrate on music and sound typically, and has it affected your playlist?

Of course, the full-scale invasion has modified all of us, together with me. Now the Ukrainian persons are extra united than ever. At least the acutely aware a part of it. Very polar feelings are boiling inside everybody, from unity, want for justice, sturdy empathy for the defenders, despair and grief on the losses to hatred and rage in the direction of the enemy, nervousness for our personal and worry throughout huge missile assaults on our cities. Such feelings push me fairly removed from the interior steadiness I may afford in peacetime. Therefore, my very own music is now changing into a relatively therapeutic software. Basically a canvas on which I can throw out what’s effervescent up inside with sound. It actually modified the sound right into a extra assertive and dramatic one on the identical time. Whole instrumental tales come out. But the playlist, quite the opposite, has modified simply within the course of extra soothing, viscous and ambient tracks, as a result of there’s sufficient depth of feelings round.

In January 2023, you launched your solo album unplugged. What are you able to inform us about its manufacturing course of and the way a lot did the full-scale invasion affect the creation of its sound?

I delayed my very own launch for a really very long time as a result of I used to be at all times concerned in lots of initiatives on the identical time. That’s why my good pal from Wroclaw gave me a birthday current… a deadline)). I took it as a problem and set to work. And then the large shelling of the Ukrainian vitality infrastructure started – the nation plunged right into a blackout. And I discovered myself in a darkish room on the seventeenth flooring with out heating, water, or web. I cooked on the balcony with a vacationer’s cooking range and throughout the hours when the facility was on, I washed dishes, cleaned, saved water and labored, and charged the facility station, which may energy a laptop computer and one synthesizer for a number of hours. Then the sunshine would exit once more and I’d sit all the way down to make music. My home windows overlook the forest, with Irpin and Bucha past. I couldn’t have wished for extra excellent circumstances for reflecting on damaging feelings. I met the deadline, describing the entire maelstrom of feelings of the time in 6 tracks – so my pal paid for the technical work on the discharge.

You have launched three albums along with Anton Slepakov. In explicit, the final one, Varniakany, turned some of the poignant albums concerning the present scenario. Could you describe how you’re employed collectively and the way you approached the creation of music for Anton’s lyrics on this explicit case?

When the full-scale invasion started, after all all of us didn’t imagine it, it was unrealistic for civilized humanity within the twenty first century, when there are extra severe challenges dealing with all of humanity. However, I used to be capable of shortly become involved in work and volunteering, however Anton was in a form of stupor for about a few weeks. And once I noticed his first submit with a poem on Facebook, I spotted that Anton had began to replicate and I recommended that we are able to use the same old methodology (poetry and digital music) to replicate on the occasions of the conflict, no less than for ourselves, however regularly. So we began releasing about 2 tracks each 2 weeks. Anton got here to my home on foot to document vocals, we blended all of it and launched it on bandcamp. People began shopping for these tracks, as a result of as they stated it was the primary music they may hearken to within the new actuality. We donated the cash we earned by promoting tracks to the army and volunteers we knew, and we nonetheless achieve this as we speak. At the top of spring 2022, we gave our first live performance within the basement of the volunteer headquarters, after which the second in public. So far, the mission has performed about 70 concert events, a number of excursions, together with a European tour in cities in Poland, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Norway.

How vital are visuals in your musical apply?

For a recent artist, I believe it’s important. That’s why all my performances are at all times accompanied by visuals. Conditionally, you create a world into which your listener plunges. And on this world, your viewers shouldn’t be blind. This is a complete method. And if know-how involves contain different sensory channels, I can be pleased to make use of them as effectively.

Where are you at the moment positioned and have you ever been displaced by conflict at any level?

I’ve been in Kyiv for the reason that starting of the conflict. Just like in peacetime, I go to my family within the metropolis of Dnipro and in addition had excursions throughout Ukraine. In these 12 months and a half, I’ve been on tour 5 instances in Europe, however my interior feeling is that I ought to be in Ukraine proper now.

Are there any Ukrainian releases from the final 12 months and a half that you simply suppose can assist us perceive present occasions?

There are plenty of such releases, however I’d personally spotlight Palindrom’s album Вигадано в черзі (Invented within the Queue), the only “Next” by Kurs Valüt (Dnipro), plenty of indignant and assertive movement from Kyiv rapper Rusiiick, and lots of others.

Based on the earlier questions, are there any particular tracks, albums, artists, or genres that you simply affiliate with sure moments or occasions within the improvement of the full-scale invasion that you simply discover tough to hearken to now?

I can’t consider one, besides that the final temper and sound of the music I hearken to has develop into softer and extra viscous. The actuality is {that a} slamming door involuntarily makes you duck and transfer away from the window, so I wouldn’t need to “irritate my PTSD” much more within the music I hearken to).

How do you are feeling concerning the inclusion of “sounds of conflict” in latest releases by Ukrainian artists and are there any particular sounds that evoke sure associations for you? Also, how do you are feeling about bayraktar music?

To be trustworthy, I don’t have an excellent perspective in the direction of it. In some areas of Ukraine, sirens and explosions occur a number of instances a day. Adding this to the music is by some means an excessive amount of.

Bayraktarshchyna exists by some means in parallel, I simply observed that it exists and that’s all. It doesn’t arouse my curiosity in any respect.

Has the position of music in Ukraine modified from leisure to expression of id, communication, emotional and bodily survival?

For probably the most half, it has. At least for the artists I comply with. The greatest capabilities of latest Ukrainian music I’d spotlight are reflection, remedy, and uplifting the spirit of the folks.

Of course it has. What I take pleasure in most is simply the silence, with out the app’s alerts of air raids, sirens, and explosions. This is a luxurious from the previous. But the truth is usually totally different. Especially not within the capital. I lately gave a efficiency in Kharkiv, and at evening, the explosion from the arrival of a missile occurred 20 seconds after the alarm was introduced. You don’t even have time to get away from bed.

What do you suppose the West nonetheless will get flawed about Ukraine?

I believe it’s simply that the West doesn’t absolutely perceive the context. To understand it, it’s good to have this expertise. And you actually don’t want that on anybody. Europeans who come right here and study the wartime have somewhat little bit of an thought. But simply take my phrase for it – it’s horrible. Every day persons are disadvantaged of their lives, youngsters, family, properties. It is hell. The cruelty with which the occupiers do that is particularly shocking. Torture, bullying, rape, traps with explosives, huge mining of the territories. Or have a look at the prisoners of conflict that Ukraine is returning to russia and the people who find themselves being returned to us. These pictures say all of it with out phrases. The civilized world shouldn’t have discovered itself on this scenario, nevertheless it did. So I would really like everybody to grasp that russia’s appetites don’t finish with Ukraine. I actually don’t need to take into consideration eventualities of who can be subsequent within the worst-case state of affairs.

seraphina & no justice

My title is Anna and I’m the particular person behind seraphina & no justice. I’m from Kharkiv. I began finding out music on the age of seven once I was despatched to a music faculty. After graduating from music faculty, I additionally studied on the school of arts. What I studied there was primarily classical music and classical singing (and somewhat jazz in school). I gained some music idea data and an outlook, nevertheless it wasn’t precisely the sector I needed to work in. At the age of 19 I made a decision to attempt my hand at digital music. Electronic music has been my ardour since I used to be an adolescent, and I was somewhat shy about it as a result of there have been no folks with comparable tastes in my setting. At a sure level, I merely realized that this was my life and solely I must stay it, and I made a decision to do what my soul was striving for.

Has the full-scale invasion modified your setup and the best way you concentrate on music and sound typically, and has it had an influence in your playlist?


Not actually. I believe that nothing has modified right here.

You simply launched the album Embodiment, which is the fourth work of yours to come back out for the reason that full-scale invasion, if I’m not mistaken. Could you give us an thought of your manufacturing course of underneath current circumstances and is the method cathartic to you? Also, you employ snippets of spoken phrases in your music, how do you go about choosing these texts?

My manufacturing course of is nearly the identical as ordinary. Most of the music was made in my present condo in Kyiv, some was made whereas touring. There are additionally numerous area recordings from totally different locations, cities and international locations. Music is just about the one factor that offers me the motivation to stay when all the things else can disappear at any second.

The collection of the texts… effectively, this course of could be very emotional and irrational. Words should not the first factor in my music, they’re relatively one other instrument. Some of them have been heard someplace and recorded, some have been born in my head, some have been written by my mates. These are ideas, fragments of somebody’s consciousness, components of somebody’s life. It’s one thing about eternity.

Where are you now and have you ever been displaced by conflict at any level?

I’m at the moment residing in Kyiv. I moved right here in March 2022, when it was nonetheless underneath assault. But after the liberation of the Kyiv area, all the things turned calmer and life started to return to town.

How do you are feeling concerning the inclusion of “conflict sounds” in latest releases by Ukrainian artists and are there any particular sounds you discover triggering? Also, how do you are feeling about bayraktar-core music?


I used some “conflict sounds” myself in my EP Ukrainian Nightmare (largely the stretched air-raid siren sound). I imagine it’s okay to make use of them on an affordable scale, when it’s good to symbolize a sure frame of mind, feelings, expertise.

I despise bayractar-core music as a result of it’s very primitive and downplays the horrors of conflict, however I absolutely perceive the rationale why it exists.

Has the position of music in Ukraine shifted from considered one of leisure to embody the expression of id, communication, and emotional and bodily survival?


I imagine it has. And it’s no extra related to make music only for leisure, each artist tries so as to add no less than somewhat that means (even when there’s none). I really feel that individuals within the music neighborhood have develop into nearer to one another and present extra mutual assist, and that’s precisely what we’d like in these darkish instances.

Has the sonic setting you reside in modified in any respect for the reason that full-scale invasion?


The days really feel like ordinary, solely there are fewer folks. If there is no such thing as a missile assault, then the nights are extremely quiet. I hear nothing once I open the window at evening. Because of the curfew, there are not any noisy drunken crowds or motorcyclists on the road. But generally there are missiles, air protection, drones, sirens and different issues.

What would you say the West nonetheless will get flawed about Ukraine?

Apart from the actually vital army and humanitarian provides, there are numerous misunderstandings. I believe that plenty of abnormal folks of the West haven’t comprehend  the tragedy which is occurring proper now, they see it extra like a sport the place it is best to decide a facet, or a style development that can quickly be outdated. It actually hurts once I see that mind-set. I’m undecided there’s something we are able to do about it. We simply need to hold combating.

Which guide / movie / album / music / conventional dish / podcast / weblog / art work / constructing / meme finest captures Ukraine for you?


Quite a lot of issues. We have so many memes, I don’t even keep in mind all of them.
I just like the artist Mykhailo Skop (NEIVANMADE). His artworks completely seize Ukraine for me.
There’s the movie “The Lost Letter” (“Пропала грамота”) which actually is without doubt one of the finest Ukrainian movies and it is rather near depicting the soul of Ukraine.

Who ought to I interview subsequent and what ought to I ask them?

I see you already interviewed plenty of Ukrainian artists, so this query is tough.
My gifted pal Konstantin Poveda, he’s a modular synth fanatic!

SEPTIM

Hey everybody, I’m Artem Baburin, aka SEPTIM. Thank you very a lot for the invitation. My journey on the planet of music began again in my childhood once I started to study the violin at a music faculty. After ending faculty, I performed in a youth ensemble orchestra and carried out on huge levels in Ukraine. However, I made a decision to not pursue a conservatory after faculty and as an alternative enrolled in college to develop into a sound engineer. That’s when my profession as a sound engineer and sound designer started over 10 years in the past once I first delved into the world of films, commercials, and music initiatives.

I had been experimenting with music composition for some time, nevertheless it was only some years in the past that I spotted I needed to do it professionally and proceed to develop on this area. Now, I create not solely digital music but additionally soundtracks for films, commercials, and extra. Then, I felt the urge to be again on stage, identical to in my childhood once I performed the violin, so I began deejaying, and I’m extremely keen about it proper now. I hope these emotions by no means depart me!

Has the full-scale invasion modified your setup and the best way you concentrate on music and sound typically, and has it had an influence in your playlist?

In instances like conflict, plenty of issues change. Some doorways in life shut, whereas others open. I gained’t go into an excessive amount of element concerning the conflict, however throughout this time, my perspective on my wants and needs, in addition to my sense of time, has shifted considerably. It’s like all the things has develop into clearer, and I’ve come to grasp myself higher. I’ve gained a imaginative and prescient of what I actually need to do in life. I’ve determined to take my music extra severely and professionally. My pal and I arrange a music studio to take our manufacturing to an entire new stage, and I lastly began studying educational music composition.

russian music has fully disappeared from my playlists, although there wasn’t a lot of it to start with. Right now, I’m diving into the world of soundtracks. The soundtrack style, typically, is extremely fascinating to me as a result of it has no restrictions on musical fashion. Composers can create something, nevertheless they need, so long as the music units the temper. Every soundtrack is an attention-grabbing story and an thrilling journey for me.

In digital music, I’ve additionally broadened my horizons, particularly in the case of the native scene. I’ve found some cool Ukrainian artists for myself.

You lately launched the EP Hero along with Xymera. What are you able to inform us concerning the manufacturing course of? Also, the title tracks appear to be programmatic, “Gothic”; “Queers”; “Mass”; and “Hero”. What was the idea behind the EP?

Once, I used to be invited to create a monitor for a gothic erformance by Xymera throughout a techno occasion. I gladly accepted as a result of I beloved all the things about it – techno events, gothic vibes, efficiency artwork, and the chance to provide music for it. That’s how the primary monitor, “Gothic,” got here into being. The efficiency was incredible, and it led to extra invites to different occasions. So, I ended up composing three extra tracks for various events with this efficiency ballet. Each monitor was like a novel manufacturing with its personal costumes, message, and objective. That’s why all of the tracks on this EP are somewhat totally different. It was an extremely rewarding expertise collaborating with such gifted people, and I’m assured that we’ll work collectively once more sooner or later.

Aside out of your techno output as SEPTIM, you additionally compose soundtracks, most lately for the documentary Wounded Land. What are you able to inform us about your movie composing course of?

Talking about myself, I’ve at all times been drawn to soundtracks, and I’ve at all times needed to compose music for films or video games. While engaged on the Insiders Project with my mates, I wrote a number of tracks for it. My first full-length movie soundtrack was created in collaboration with the Ukrainian producer Dmytro Avksentiev aka Koloah for our documentary movie Breaking into Baikonur. (I’ll be releasing this album quickly).

Regarding Wounded Land, my pal, the cinematographer Artem, beneficial me to its director. They confronted points with music copyright, and so they needed me to create 45 minutes of music inside simply 35 days. It was undoubtedly a major problem for me. But I put aside different duties and immersed myself on this mission. Despite the difficulties, that month turned some of the attention-grabbing intervals of my life in a few years.

Also, there’s one character within the movie that talks about “War Depression”. This is when a person feels responsible as a result of they aren’t collaborating in a army operation. How widespread would you say is that this?

It’s onerous for me to speak particularly about “War Depression.” I, together with my mates, initially felt that approach initially of the conflict. We mentioned it a number of instances, nevertheless it shortly turned overshadowed by different emotions, and I not felt it. Such a dreadful conflict triggers numerous psychological points, much more severe than simply “conflict despair.” I’m satisfied that each particular person in Ukraine has suffered psychological trauma, even these whose households that haven’t been instantly affected by dying.

You have contributed to the latest Obskura compilation. What would you say are the important thing components for a profitable fundraising compilation?

I believe it’s an awesome collection of artists. Obskura label has already launched three compilations with a mixture of very attention-grabbing native and worldwide artists. I extremely advocate checking it out!

Where are you now and have you ever been displaced by conflict at any level?

Right now, I’m at house in Kyiv. During the primary week of the conflict, I used to be at a cottage close to Kyiv, after which I went with my household to my girlfriend’s dad and mom’ place close to Kropyvnytskyi metropolis. After a couple of month and a half, I returned house to Kyiv.

Are there any Ukrainian releases from the previous 12 months and a half that you simply really feel can assist make sense of present occasions?

One album that involves my thoughts instantly is Exploration Of Hidden Knowledge by Weird Rider. I actually loved that EP. I’m undecided if the conflict had any affect on the artist, however the album actually captures moods effectively. Also, the unimaginable monitor “Travesty of One’s Self” by our artist LVCERATE from the compilation Lethal Aid. And final however not least, the attention-grabbing compilation Construction vol. 2 by Kultura Medialna.

Following from the earlier questions, are there any particular tracks, albums, artists, or genres that evoke explicit moments or occasions within the improvement of the full-scale invasion for you and that you simply now discover tough to hearken to?

Honestly, there’s nothing like that, and I’m very glad about it. But as I discussed earlier, my sense of time and myself has by some means modified. I’ve began listening to extra music, analyzing and filtering it for myself. I don’t let something by means of that I don’t no less than barely take pleasure in; I don’t have time for that.

How do you are feeling concerning the inclusion of “conflict sounds” in latest releases by Ukrainian artists and are there any particular sounds you discover triggering? Also, how do you are feeling about bayraktar-core music?

It’s a fancy query as a result of each Ukrainian experiences this conflict otherwise. Some have misplaced all the things, whereas others have misplaced nothing. Some have grown uninterested in the sirens, whereas others expertise panic assaults each time they hear one. Personally, I don’t like these sounds; they evoke disagreeable emotions in me. But I perceive that some artists would possibly use them to affect overseas listeners. Our nation is determined by the assist of worldwide companions, so it’s important that the Ukrainian problem doesn’t get forgotten. That’s why tracks with such “sounds” could assist with this.

If there’s pop and mainstream music, there must also be bayraktar-core, why not? For me it’s extra meme music. I don’t hearken to it, so I can solely provide a normal opinion on the matter.

Has the position of music in Ukraine shifted from considered one of leisure to embody the expression of id, communication, and emotional and bodily survival?

Oh, sure, proper now Ukrainian society and artwork are quickly growing in a cultural sense, and it’s unimaginable. I see probably the most vital push by way of cultural id. It’s a pity {that a} main conflict needed to be the rationale for this, however that’s the way it turned out.

Ukrainian tradition has a really lengthy historical past, however for many of that historical past, it was oppressed and restricted. The most vital oppression got here from the russian Empire, the USSR, and russia.

Now, our tradition is experiencing a form of “rebirth,” and it’s essential for the federal government to assist tradition as a result of it has a profound influence on id, mentality, and the nation as an entire. Our tradition has so much to indicate and inform the world.

Has the sonic setting you reside in modified in any respect for the reason that full-scale invasion?

Over the course of greater than a 12 months and a half of full-scale conflict, you get used to many issues. But initially of the conflict, the sonic setting actually modified. The first sirens I heard sounded terrifying, after which got here the sounds of explosions, rockets, planes, helicopters, and so forth – enormous adrenaline rushes. During the primary week, I used to be at a rustic home close to Kyiv, near army actions, and we tried to talk quietly, keep away from making noise, and pay attention to what was taking place round us.
Then winter got here, and Kyiv sounded totally different. Due to assaults on important infrastructure, there have been many locations with out electrical energy, so the noise of mills was heard all over the place. For me, winter in Kyiv is related to the sound of mills. But in any other case, due to the titanic efforts of the Ukrainian army, all the things was as ordinary.

Now, once I stroll round Kyiv, I’m consistently full of nervousness, and all the colours don’t appear as vibrant. Maybe the sonic setting of Kyiv hasn’t modified, however my notion of it has. And I perceive that that is my actuality now, and I settle for it. These are unusual feelings, a wierd state, however they offer me some form of push to create music.

What would you say the West nonetheless will get flawed about Ukraine?

I get the sensation that many foreigners consider Ukraine as some a part of the USSR that broke away and have become impartial in 1991. I’ve traveled so much, and generally I’ve heard this narrative, however that’s not the case in any respect. Ukraine has a really lengthy historical past; we simply had the misfortune of getting russia as a neighbor, which has tried to destroy us all through its existence. Many outstanding Ukrainian figures have been claimed by Russia as their very own – writers like Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov, artists like Ivan Aivazovsky, Ilya Repin, Kazimir Malevich, and others, from what I do know. If we think about scientists and different fields, I believe the listing could be even longer.

By the best way, the world’s first democratic structure was created by Ukrainian Hetman Pylyp Orlyk in 1710. Unfortunately, it didn’t absolutely come into power, nevertheless it signifies that over 300 years in the past, Ukrainians already had a imaginative and prescient of democracy.

So, I would like the West to take a look at us otherwise, however I perceive that we have to earn that respect. Right now, Ukrainians are working in the direction of that with their blood.

Which guide / movie / album / music / conventional dish / podcast / weblog / art work / constructing / meme finest captures Ukraine for you?

Composers – Mykola Leontovych, Boris Lyatoshynsky, and Serhiy Pilyutikov (who’s my present instructor. I lately attended the opening of the Ukrainian Philharmonic and heard his orchestral composition, which was unimaginable. I’m very excited to be finding out educational composition underneath his steerage).

Writers – Serhii Zhadan, Myroslav Dochynets
YouTube – Kult: Podcast (https://www.youtube.com/@kult_podcast) and T.G. Shevchenko (https://www.youtube.com/@imtgsh)

Who ought to I interview subsequent and what ought to I ask them?

I believe you’ll be able to converse with Nobody, he’s the very best Ukrainian beatbox artist and he’s additionally an enormous music producer. Now he’s engaged on his EP and its sounds wonderful.

Also, attempt to attain out to Mykyta Moiseiev. He’s a captivating particular person and an unimaginable movie composer. You can discover his work on SoundCloud.
