This is the story of an instrument wrought from the raw sounds of war and moments of everyday life under its shadow. Recorded in Kyiv and the Carpathian Mountains during the spring of 2022 by Ukrainian artist Histibe. Sound designed and crafted into a living virtual instrument. Swords to Ploughshares is a concept in which military weapons are converted for peaceful civilian applications.

This library offers the artist’s unique vantage point during a transformative place and time in their life and the world around them. His goal is to transmute an act of oppression into a tool for expression. It is not meant to be a definitive, unbiased, unvarnished or complete representation of the artist’s entire experience or those around him. It is intended as a work of constructive and reusable sonic art. It is a dim and hazy window into another human’s personal experience, crafted with the simple hope that it serves and inspires your own creative process.

It includes field recordings made in and around his hometown and during a temporary evacuation in the mountains during the heaviest period of shelling near his house. The subject matter includes the everyday sounds of his life and his city, quickly adapting to war time and often punctuated by blasts and the wail of air raid sirens. It explores the gentle sounds of nature in the mountains made all the more surreal by eerily distorted late-night shortwave radio broadcasts filling the airwaves.

LYRICS 
Time has been judging me
Looking back I see it all
I see how hard I was on you
Never knew just how

All I ever wanted was to love you
Be the best I could be
Bring joy, laughter to you
Some things I could not foresee

My eyes have seen all the pain I've caused
Living in darkness for all my flaws

If I could go back I would change everything
I would do my best to set you free
I would take back the pain that I’ve caused
Oh, love is all you’d see from me

Yeah I’m sorry for being me

You didn’t let my faults define you
Never let it build a wall
Overcame all adversity
Came out stronger through it all

I swear you mean so much to me
No need to live in fear
I know that God is watching you
I’m on my knees in tears

I’m living in darkness for all my flaws
My eyes have seen all the pain I've caused

If I could go back I would change everything
I would do my best to set you free
I would take back the pain that I’ve caused
Oh, love is all you’d see from me

Yeah I’m sorry for being me

I thought I was protecting you
Saving you with my charm
But it was me who brought misery
The one who brought you harm

If I could go back I would change everything
I would do my best to set you free
I would take back the pain that I’ve caused
Oh, love is all you’d see from me

How I wish I could go back now
I’d set your whole life free
I’d never cause you all that pain 
Oh, love is all that you’d see in me

Yeah I’m sorry for being me

Sorry For Being Me (demo, Easton, 2024-06-25)

bones & drip-133 - mothmilk

Сонце сьогодні яскраво вмирало, 
В безсмертi своєму певне було.
Спочатку, далеко пожежа палала, 
Та полум'я в решті розбилось, мов скло. 

Мрiї - лиш згаслі зірки і розталий дим.
За вікном літню спеку прогнали вітри.
Холодне повітря...Згадую дні, які вже минули давно. 
Все одно, краще закрити вікно. Досить спогадів цих.
Ми в кімнаті разом, але на самотi 
Ми в кімнаті разом, але на самотi

Нiчне небо, як синiй оксамит
Твоя тiнь, мов мiсяця відблиск в воді 
Нiкотин можливо й вбиває, та ти -
Набагато швидше за нього.
Улюблена пiсня твоя на повторi 
Грає, а поза межами стiн -
Усi люди хворi.
Лiкуватися досить запiзно:
Хвороба в очах, у крові,
У судинах, усюди. Теперь не знайти
Уламків тих сонячних.
 
Свiтає, я мiг бы тут довше побути
Але набридли мені вже вкрай, 
i ти, і алкоголь, i клятий лоу-фай
i ти, і алкоголь, i клятий лоу-фай

дідько, я у розпачі...
