Ukraine’s Tembra Modular continues workshops, gear despite attacks

Through blackouts, bitter cold, Internet disruptions, and nightly attacks, Ukrainian DIY producers Tembra Modular persist. The two-person shop continues to run workshops and produce DIY kits and assembled modules. Blackouts can’t stop them: their production often takes place literally by candlelight. Here’s Kaximia to tell us the story of their modular synth resistance, and why you should be conscious in your choice of what hardware you use.

Death dances and liberatory sounds of I Shall Sing Until My Land Is FreeĀ 

What can music do against darkness? It may be our one fuel for emotions, a weapon against depressive inertia.
