[000:00:00;00] and we returned to the discussion only in the summer and also argued about how timely it is now, how much it can help to inspire people and well, after all, we decided to try it, it was a completely new experience for me, uh, because i'm used to realizing my creative ideas as a musician and here, on the contrary, i tried to listen to the sounds characteristic of those cities where everything happened. is it difficult for you as a composer to integrate these sounds from the surrounding reality? do you understand that it is not always predictable? because about some places

i knew in advance that we would be there, we would be there, for example, in lviv in an organization. well, of course, it would be interesting to play the organ or record this sound, but in chernihiv, for example, we were at urban in the park where i tried to ride a skateboard there, very loudly and accurately fell and this one i then used the sound of the fall in the musical theme. that is, it is such a challenge for me as a composer when you do not know what the composition will consist of and how exactly it will happen, it is like a game for me, but it is cool, it also inspires, it frees you from of any scope, it expands the horizon. and actually, after the project, i look at the world more broadly , and with regard to sounds, too, right now, you are probably trying to restore some special sounds anywhere you have not been warmed up and as if i would encourage people to try to hear this world. well,

here i am to you i will say as a person who has watched all five releases that are available on youtube so far, i will note for our viewers that you can watch all of them on the youtube channel of the ukrainian youtube project and the first thing that struck me is that this is what well, when you think how the city sounds you immediately start inventing, well, maybe recalling some sounds that are banal for this or that city, for example, lviv tram. yes , you have the sound of a tram in your composition, but not only that, that is, you somehow managed to hear the city from some very unique point of view. well, it still seems to me that for it was a challenge for you to be a presenter. it must have been the way you communicated with this role. at first, i imagined that it would be very difficult when we started filming, i became a marketer, friends. welcome, we are in the city, and the director

tells me yes, stop, stop, i don’t need to i need a presenter. i need a composer. be yourself. this, of course, made it easier for me to relate to the project, to the style, that is, i tried to just be myself . it seems that it worked out. well, it’s easier for me to just communicate. how are you now than to invent some forms? to somehow restrain myself in front of the cameras, it made such a task much easier for me, and secondly, my musical world. he, uh, he is so professional, boring, and there are generally many processes that may not be understood by a certain certain number of people in the audience, i tried to do it like this so that a person who does not know anything about music at all could hear and look at how music is created

in general, i treated music in the same way, so that it was not some kind of niche, that is , i wanted to make a form that would be understandable to almost all of those releases, there are many such and funny moments, but there are many stinging, i noticed that when you went to odesa, we always expect odesa to be such a bustling city, full of people , for example, you can hear the sounds of ship horns, and you arrived and it was quiet, the port was closed, it is empty and in general, even as a musician, an artist, i am used to the fact that odessa is always a holiday, and i have to learn that odessa was probably the most difficult city because i really had to search for sounds, because odessa did not offer anything other than

an air alert we decided to leave it in each city because it sounds like ukraine , namely so now, yes. unfortunately, i also emphasized this in chernihiv. i think it was quite successful in general. of music appeared yes yes ukraine now may not sound like it would have in peacetime but it is beautiful there are talented people here cool places interesting sounds we live life goes on interesting moment that all 5 of your compositions came out despite everything so

quite vital dynamic can be said to be those who give hope, her relatives go there and i lead gently and so the search is free , i haven't arrived in days, it's you , let's say a little, added the desired to what is there, did you really manage to see that despite everything, we remain so optimistic one hundred percent one hundred percent it is not only my own feeling as a musician it is felt in the people it is felt in the energy that is yes it is difficult for us but we stick together we stick together and go together to victory and it is not just there pathetic patriotic words it really i felt it again i will repeat that i did not try to implement my own ideas despite the fact that i sometimes played musical instruments with my own

hands. i listened. i tried like a sponge to absorb what i felt in terms of energy and in some percentage, it really turned out like this and i saw mine and heard it like that, but i assure you that it is really felt, that is, that we, we, we live, you mentioned that kharkiv was the city where you filmed the pilot for our viewers, i will explain that this is a test release uh, according to which you look, it works, it doesn’t work, what can be changed to do better, and it’s interesting that you filmed kharkiv before the full-scale invasion , after the start of the full-scale invasion, we see that kharkiv suffered extremely badly and continues to suffer. do you plan to show

what kharkiv was like before february 24, it seems that this is almost the last chronicle of kharkiv before the full-scale invasion, there are certain nuances there because kharkiv i was still speaking in russian and it seems to me that it is so little well, maybe it will be cut or some comments will come to me there , you understand, but i think it is important maybe maybe this is a good question yes and uh we said off camera that a certain audience is dissatisfied and why lviv odesa and how is my dnipro and how is my ivano-frankivsk friends assure - this is only the beginning we are very pleased that there are many reviews and in general - then the project is called what does the world sound like, dot ukraine, we started with ukraine, but our ambition is generally to show how imagine what tokyo sounds like, for example, or what it sounds like there, i don’t know , there are peruvian mountains there, something like that,

at least when we discussed it, we thought that it would be it is interesting to do such an international project. now we have concentrated more on ukraine and i have already drawn the cover of the second season. well , i will tell you, i really hope that you will actually have the opportunity not only to go to tokyo , but also to visit those cities that are now occupied, your videos are life-saving. donetsk is occupied. have you thought about what if your hometown could sound

like this? you can hear it all over the place and even in music. i once thought of embodying this sound and making a chord out of it. not just one sound, but making a chord out of it , despite the fact that i have been living there for 21 years in kyiv. and i really think that it is mine. house uh donetsk i remember very well and i know what i was doing there in these releases you can see how you play a very large number of different instruments and that's it. it's very well personally . i'm interested in how many instruments you play. and i came to kyiv 21 years ago and i started working in a recording studio all this time i improved my musical instrument skills there, i can't say that i play any instrument professionally , that is, i'm not a professional pianist or guitarist

, but the projects and experience i have gave me the opportunity to try and improve now, i can say that i don't even try the brass trumpet and strings - it 's the violin or cello, but on the double bass i also play the guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion , percussion, singing, and a lot of other things that you can just extract a sound from if you know how do you want the sound to sound? it's not about professional skills, it's about feeling , feeling, feeling, rhythm, feeling, melody, etc. if you listen carefully, i didn't make any complex settings. you talked about how ukrainian cities changed under the influence

of the great war. and i am also interested in your impressions as a composer , producer, performer, how ukrainian music has changed in the last more than a year. well, of course, first of all , there was a whole layer of young new artists that i had almost never heard of before a full-scale invasion. who did you like? who could you advise our viewers on whom to pay attention to? well , you don't want to, you don't want to offend someone , you know, when we were filming kyiv, i met such a blogger and musician maria tuchya tuchka, she recorded rush's composition "isoterroristi state", this is such powerful electronic music. i think that the aggressive message that is in her work is quite successfully done in social networks. i see

some young artists there, i can't even remember, but they are united by such here is the topic that they started releasing such slightly sad songs about such or nostalgia or uh yes yes and when it's one two three well, it can still be and when it's even a phenomenon that we're sad that we cry it's less motivating i think uh it probably reflects what we are we feel so so really really really really but this is not a recipe for career success it seems to me that ukrainians are not only about sadness.

i would like to hear more, but history has examples when certain crises gave birth to such revolutions in the cultural plan, and music is just one of the sides in our country, and films, documentaries and feature films are also shot. and it seems that there will be a lot of material related to the war, from the cinematographers , this is also important. some of the musicians took a back seat, some appeared as new artists , some, many began to reflect.

e song and video e e soul of the people must watch this metaphor between the 32nd year of the holodomor and the 22nd holodomor the blockade of chernigov and we heard a lot of scary stories about how people were in the blockade there was really nothing to eat and it was hard to move at all, and that is, people survived and she, as an artist, also gave a lot of herself in such a manifestation of the soul of the people. now we are moving on and working on our own creativity. and i want to say that there are fewer tears , more victory. there is another aspect that we have encountered during the last year in ukrainian music and in principle pop culture is what critics call sharovarshchyna, someone calls it bayraktarshchyna. someone else has other epithets. yes, when possible, in some places

they even abuse it for some patriotic reasons. do you see a problem in this? does it have the right to exist? well, it seems to me that any prohibitions are not an approach or, but personally, i think that it is really a bit over the edge, it already goes when we immerse ourselves in our cultural code. for example , i see a much larger plast in general than just traditional pipes or these cossacks again trousers and yet another. that is, this is a rather superficial attitude to the general ethnic code of the region when we er started the 14th grandson least of all i just wanted to make

club beats with pipes because i really respect our history the more i immerse myself the more amazed at how big we have diversity cultural diversity and we since then and to this day we are trying to embody ukrainian traditional culture so that, for example, there was a case where my mother is a teacher at the conservatory and she used to play a track of her granddaughter at the department of folk instruments and say, here are the bandura players , listen to how bandura is embodied in modern sound, i don't want to say that onuka was the first to combine ukrainian ethnic instruments with modern electronic music, but certain other musicians, uh, decided that oh, this is a recipe.

any musical accompaniment, the main thing is that there should be pipes, the main thing is that there should be some kind of dance , there should be a song about the cossacks, and yet another thing. ukraine has to offer the world, we see now and in principle since the 14th year we are constantly convinced that we need to talk to the world by all available methods . because when the creative band won the eurovision selection for us, there was criticism from some people. is this music sufficiently representative of ukraine, and we live in the modern world, it is cosmopolitan, er, the creative band is a band that

could have been born somewhere in europe or somewhere in america and i think it's cool when i started my own work in 2008 they told me listen i would never have guessed that in ukraine they write such music for me as a musician it's a compliment as for an artist it's bad if you're not identified as for a ukrainian musician, it's not great for a career, but that's not what i'm talking about, the band is creative , cool, european world sound, i think it's super, i respect them a lot, i love dakhabrah, who has been traveling the world for more than 10 years. a more traditional ukrainian sound is also cool. it also shows our uniqueness, roots . let's talk about your grandson, who takes traditional culture, and this is not an audio production, because about

the granddaughter, i think i know a lot that she has a grandfather who made a flute. that is , she has been playing with orchestras since childhood in all this, and i am not a producer i thought about this project with her, i just saw the strongest current or beam that she has and just made it modern. it seems to me that rethinking and giving it not to the domestic market, like that, it will not work, people will not understand it is very complicated, something is not necessary it is necessary to be afraid to present music as sincerely, modernly and frankly as possible. it seems to me that if you do it honestly and try to have ambitions so that it is heard not only in ukraine, then you have to count on what kind of world we live in and leaning back to maybe this bayraktarshchyna, everything is the opposite there

it was made so that people in ukraine would hide it so that it would be fun there or something like that i think we should feel in which part we live and be frank in our musical expressions thank you for this conversation thank you their cities took away their relatives stole their childhood and then forcibly took ukrainian children to the aggressor country , they were sure of their own impunity, but the international criminal court in gaza issued a warrant for the arrest of the dictator, according to which order they deported our children, and this is only the beginning of

a historic decision that will begin a historic responsibility i am grateful to everyone in the world who helps us fight for justice all those guilty of gilding against ukraine will be punished millions of frightened defenseless creatures whose only hope for salvation stela ordinary ukrainians kulyuh oleksandr wandered through the mined forest for three weeks together with 13 horses feeding on leaves and cows of trees he saved oleksandra from the animals, the owner of the dog shelter searched for food in the occupied villages and fed 3.5 thousand dogs with soup for a month, saving them from starvation, the veterinarian

svitlana evacuated every day from kharkiv ecopark, dozens of animals, two years old, mykola saved 160 ostriches, which after a few months gave birth to a hundred little ostrich chicks, the light-heartedness of our people will definitely overcome the darkness. what are weapons with depleted uranium why does russia lie about the danger of their use and what is actually the contaminated third of the territory of ukraine in

neighboring states blocking transit of ukrainian grain, why do local people protest, on which day do ukrainians celebrate easter, will there be a single date? 100 more prisoners managed to be returned to ukraine, 80 men and 20 women, these are military border guards, sailors, national guardsmen , the head of the president's office, andriy yarmak, wrote in a telegram, among them there are defenders of mariupol, the rest are guests some of them are wounded and sick , the state writes that yermak will do everything to ensure that they receive the necessary help from the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, in general , more than 2,000 prisoners were released ukrainians, i love you very much, hello, hello, today they returned home. 24 more children abducted by the russians

, all of them from the kherson region, the video was released by the regional military administration on its telegram channel. the russians gave up the children, interrogated their parents for 13 hours, then forced them to participate in a propaganda report of the first full-scale invasion of the occupier almost 19 and a half thousand children were deported from ukraine. such data of the prosecutor general's office managed to return 360 sand. myroslava kharchenko, a lawyer at the save ukraine charity fund. i congratulate you, mrs. myroslava. tell me how the return of children generally happens, what difficulties you face, what is the actual role of your team, eh, of course, but i would like to start by clarifying that this time we did not return 24 children, but 31, in this video , which was just on your broadcast , it was noted only about the children of some kherson

region, this time it was ours the largest such special operation regarding the return of deported children, 31 children, but next to that, it was also our largest special operation regarding the difficulties we experienced , indeed our mothers who went to pick up the children. we organized the entire trip for them, we planned everything completely logistically, they were kept in inside the airport and were not allowed to be interrogated, they were interrogated constantly, they were well, imagine that 14 hours without food and without water, they were already talking . what were we going to? hard, very hard, and also a very sad event happened relatively well. during this mission, one of the mothers, or rather a grandmother, who had

to pick up her two granddaughters, she just died the next day and her heart stopped. our bus stopped , they got off at the bus stop to to take a rest and at grandma's it just happened to the heart of the accusations, so far no one is making accusations, but this well, that's it for a moment to imagine what difficulties await us on this path, then at the same time when our mothers already after this event which also wrote they came to the crimea yevpatoria and brylo chisto to pick up all their children and on this very day maria lvova belova , well known to everyone, gave a press conference exactly during this conference she talked about the fact that no one receives any parents are free to come and pick up their children, and she said it at this very time when

a large group of children is being given a press conference thanks to the russian by the way , the volunteers seem to take away and connect you with their families, that is, lies, lies and the lie that led to the death of one person and the lie that led to the fact that due to the death of this grandmother , unfortunately, we have two children stuck in the crimea. to let's say so to a normal order to the point that they well, they were somehow more or less like children, because those children who come, whom we return , who come from russia, they are like that, you know, they are like hedgehogs, they are closed, uh, we communicate with them , we see them, we we see children who previously when we returned, we know what the previous children told and what our psychologists who are present at the interrogations

say , because the children well, we definitely need to be interviewed, the psychologists say that russia is preparing the children for the fact that they will be interviewed in ukraine. tell me where i don't remember . that is, it turns out that the child spent four or six months in the camp and she does not remember anything, because psychologists say that the children are frightened, they are afraid to tell something, we have the only chance, you know, little children who are less susceptible to such psychological pressure and have fewer psychological triggers, and we have a chance to talk to them. well, a little older teenagers. it will be more difficult there. it is clear. well, russia in its repertoire does not spare either the young or the old and lies and lies. thank you for what you are.

do with we wish you and by the way thank you for clarifying the number of children this is even more good news and i wish you to release more and more children thank you myroslava kharchenko was a lawyer of the save ukraine charity fund russian aviation caused of the attack on avdiivka, the head of the donetsk regional military administration, pavlo kyrylenko, said that the high-rise building was destroyed , there were no dead and injured, not all residents were evacuated, but not everyone in avdiivka agreed to leave the homes of two more children in the city, their parents are hiding about the evacuation . it is almost impossible to use this type of weapon . this year we have decorations and the owner
