Sounds from Ukraine after 1000 days

Today, Ukrainians marked 1000 days of terror across the whole country, following over a decade of war and multi-generational struggle. Now is no time to give up on listening to Ukrainians – or their music.

In “Piano,” John Object captures emotional realities of war in Ukraine

“Piano” is bookended by sketches on a partly-ruined piano in a war zone – messages over an army radio heard crackling in the background. In between, there is the warmth of a 1920s German instrument in the artist’s Kyiv flat and grandmother’s house before the war. Ukrainian artist John Object is now living mainly as PFC Timur Dzhafarov, deployed to the front. In sounds, images, and words, he has opened up about what that reality means.
