about

This album is a conceptual audio-visual work "Kharkiv Songs", created as a result of participation in an art residency in Hanover, Germany.

The audio component of the installation is an sound collage based on recordings of personal piano works in Kharkiv several years before the war (which were never published), while the visual component is a reflection on war and life created during the artist's Ukrainian tour in the summer and autumn of 2022.

The piano recordings serve as a point of memory, as something done but never truly released, echoing with texts and reflections on war and existence. Existence, that filled with many ideas that were never meant to be released due to the unpredictable course of reality.

The detached sound of minimalist compositions and the structure of the work create an ephemeral cyclical tunnel that moves forward and backward, gradually deconstructing the sense of time and perspective, leaving one alone with reflections on the meaning of existence, purpose, and acceptance.
