Until the sun comes

2024

During the past 22 months, I interviewed many Ukrainian refugees, analyzed the interviews, conducted research, learned more about my culture, wrote, arranged and recorded an album of music that expresses the stories that were told to me. This is the result. I hope you can find meaning in this music. Thank you for listening, and a huge thank you to everyone who was involved in the making of this album.
