Music decolonization excavation within a highly politicized Ukrainian-Russian context. Sonic research from the last century of artistic exile, local music representation, national-through-the-music-identity, and territorial representations from the Carpathians to Donetsk.
"IF" is a timeless place where world-known classical composers are locked with young beatmakers. So techno, IDM, choir, ambient, or EBM become oneness. And suddenly, "ukrainianism" emerged from these bushes and spoke out loud about its existence. Becoming the voice of the nation and those who are already dead.
+Intentionally compiled for the NTS love extravaganza.
+All compositions have been bought at Bandcamp (except one given from an author) - comment on pirate-first Ukrainian media culture consumption.
Slava Ukraini!
