The Right To Peace | Playlist For The Ukraine

So many feelings well up regarding the invasion of Ukraine by Putin and his massed forces that I don't know where to begin. So I let them rise up and expressed them through this Piano Improvisation, as they are beyond mere words.

However, I do know that in this moment of peril, I stand with 100s of millions of people around the world and the people of Ukraine in denouncing this barbarous attack on innocent civilians. As this unfolds... the suffering, fear, and displacement are already immense as people flee bombed and shelled-out areas however they can, and head west. And a huge thank you here to the people of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova for welcoming and caring for the 100s of thousands of those refugees! The best and the worst of humanity are highly visible right now. Yet, there is widespread disbelief worldwide that such a thing could occur in today's world.  But here it is. 

Let us celebrate the fact that even in the face of these atrocities, Hope, and Goodness will continue to spring eternal in the human breast!

I pray for the Ukrainians, E.U., and the entire world as 100s of thousands in Russia and millions more around the world demonstrate against Putin's war. (This was before a law was passed that you could get 10 years in prison for such gatherings.) In any case, Putin has succeeded in doing the opposite of what he's been trying to do for 20 years. He's finally United the West! 

Yet still, I ask, when will man's inhumanity to man finally end?

May it be soon. Very soon.

This piano piece goes out to our dear friend Helena Dolgov @Syntaleta in Kharkiv as she and her family weather this terrifying insanity. May they always be safe and warm, and know that they are loved by all in our Soundcloud community.  <3

All The Things I  Feel

Waltzing Maria [idi domoy volodya]

MYR DLYA UKRANYINY | Peace for ALL

Piano arrangement composed by Vasily Solovyov-Sedoi and played in America by Van Cliburn.

The original lyrics were written in 1895 by Australian Banjo Paterson, and were first published as sheet music in 1903. Tom Waits and Traubert's Blues (1976) is where this found us. These lyrics have changed.

FULL LYRICS:
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
Got what you paid for now
See ya tomorrow, hey #VLAD can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you?
To go waltzing #MARIA, waltzing MARIA
You'll go a-waltzing back to ROSSYA

Now you’ve lost to Saint Christopher, now he’s kissing her
And the #motherlandbandit he knows
That the maverick from #Moscow and the cold-blooded signs
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows
Go, waltzing MARIA, waltzing #KATERINA
You'll go a-waltzing back to ROSSYA 

And you can ask any sailor and the keys from the jailor
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That #LYUDMILA the defendant, she killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go waltzing MARIA, waltzing KATERINA
You'll go a-waltzing back to ROSSYA

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
Got what you paid for now
See ya tomorrow, hey Vlad can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you?
To go waltzing MARIA, waltzing KATERINA
You'll go a-waltzing back to ROSSYA

Waltzing Maria [idi domoy volodya]

From Moscow to Siberia, people have taken to the streets in many Russian cities to demonstrate against the war in Ukraine. People chanted "No to war!". The anti-war protests had begun on Thursday after Russian troops invaded Ukraine. Hundreds of protesters have been detained daily since then. The protests appeared to be smaller than those on Thursday, when thousands gathered in Moscow and St. Petersburg. But the true scale was difficult to gauge...

No To War! (свобода)

Because of the current situation, I decided to rearrange a Ukrainian folk song. I am sorry to see all these pictures and the victims of this unnecessary war.  I think that especially in such difficult moments, music can provide a moment of peace. War has never been a solution and never will be! The folk song is a Ukrainian lullaby and is called "Oy Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon" (The Dream Passes By The Window)

Stand With Ukraine

Oh I Wish

Oh Ukraine

Hello people. I had a lot of requests about Ukraine and war in the last days. I have talked to many people here on Soundcloud and other social media and listened to their worries and fears. For this reason I decided to make a statement and say stop the war. My sympathy and sorrow goes to the Ukrainian people

Hallo Leute. Ich hatte in den letzten Tagen sehr viele Anfragen zum Thema Ukraine und Krieg. Ich habe mit vielen Leuten hier auf Soundcloud und andern Sozialen Medien gesprochen und mir ihre Sorgen und Ängste angehört. Aus diesem Grund habe ich beschlossen, ein Zeichen zu setzen und zu sagen: Stoppt den Krieg. Mein Mitgefühl und meine Trauer gilt dem ukrainischen Volk


Привіт, люди. За останні кілька днів у мене було багато запитів про Україну та війну. Я спілкувався з багатьма людьми в Soundcloud та інших соціальних мережах і вислухав їхні занепокоєння та страхи. Тому я вирішив зробити заяву і сказати «Зупинити війну». Моя співчуття і смуток йдуть до українського народу

My heart is broken for all the family's and especially the children who have to suffer through this stupid war..  I pray for them.  This piece came out of my anguish for what is happening.  Maranatha!!!

WAR'S ECHO ... ( God help us turn swords into plows)pray for Ukraine's music artists as well

I like many am shocked and appalled at what is unfolding before us. In the midst of this darkness I salute the people who are opening their hearts and offering assistance to the refugees from this disastrous conflict.

Here are some UK links to appeals providing humanitarian aid. I'm sure each country has equivalent appeals happening now.

My sincerest gratitude to Nick R. Davies for his amazing skills as a writer and novelist.

We left late in the night with all the other kids from the street.  It felt exciting and strange. Strange because Mama was scared and Tato wasn't with us. Mama said he needed to stay to make us safe like all the other fathers. She kept holding me into her and rubbing my back. The bus was cold and noisy, some of the children crying, some singing and shouting. We left Brovary in the pitch dark and once the bus quietened a little I looked out of the window for cars and lights,  but there were few. I counted bridges. I remember five but I was sleepy and couldn't be sure. Our journey seemed to last forever. Each time we stopped I would ask Mama whether we were close,  but I don't think she knew. She was checking her phone a lot, but I think Tato must have been busy. I talked to my doll when Mama wouldn't talk to me anymore.

We arrived in Lublin in the early morning.  It was snowing and there was a big crowd of people.  They gave us food and blankets. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I had a hot chocolate and cake before we were taken to a hotel.

When I heard Mama on the phone and then crying, I was frightened. She went to cry on her own in the bathroom and I was sad I couldn't help. I left the hotel and walked for miles. I found a bridge. There were only four more to find before I could get back to Tato. I started calling for him. Over and over and over..with each step into the dark cold night.

When Mama and her friends found me, I was still calling for Tato.  I told Mama there were only four more bridges. No dear, she said, crying and shaking..there were many more you didn't see..there are too many bridges to see Tato. Too many bridges now and for a long time.

Too Many Bridges MAY GOD BLESS THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE Text by Nick R. Davies

Sadness and Sorrow

Soul jazz to soothe the soul.  The Fortitude of the Ukranians is remarkable.  Freedom reigns

Fortitude - for Ukraine

My grandfather is from this region. Each night on the news, brings more ungodly stories of brutality, and then amazing acts of courage, unity, and humanity.

A Hymn For Anyone

This is a tribute to the defenders of Mariupol, the regiment of the Azov National Guard and the 36th Independent Marine Brigade and the volunteers from Belarus, praise to the heroes

AZOV

I need to take a break...

😮‍💨😔


When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
