How can we not be moved by the horror of events going on around the world?
News no longer remains ‘new’. Headlines change. The media moves on. The suffering and deprivation continues and increases.
We watch helplessly as people are displaced and systematically threatened in their very right to exist.
Despite it all there is a community of spirit that resists and fights back.
Throughout my life and throughout my career I have tried to respond in whatever ways I can. As an individual. As an artist.
In the summer of 2019 it was my pleasure to come to know and work with film maker Jurko Marrow in Kyiv. It is now my honour to collaborate and work with him on a new piece, with music by Justin Ciuche and Jann Michael Engel, entitled MRIYA - An Ode To Ukraine.
I wrote the text, in English, in March this year. I asked Jurko if he could advise on an adaption into Ukrainian. Not only did he fully translate the poem but he also made a vocal recording in between his duties as an exponent of Ukrainian culture and as an active defender of his country and people.
Combining our two vocals with strings and ambient sounds from this volatile landscape, this moment in time, I present it to you, Mriya an Ode to Ukraine.
