“Salt and Water” is second single for 2024 from DEEP DIVE SPECIES. More joyful and sunny than the predecessor, it easily can be enjoyed on vacation, on a deck of the yacht or near the pool or in the shade of beach tree. Or it might simply give you a bit of that vibe in some other places. But it’s not a party music, it’s organic and natural, even though it is more of an electronic music than the previous single.

Here in Belarus, we're experiencing true fascism – in 2020. During country-wide peaceful protests that followed the recent presidential elections, the Belarusian OMON – a special police unit run by the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs – shot at, brutally assaulted and arrested peaceful protesters.

​Those who were arrested told of inhuman detention conditions. Groups of up to 125 people were forced to share 5 x 5-metre cells, often standing for hours. When they couldn't stand anymore, they sat on the floor and lost consciousness due to the lack of air. The OMON often beat protestors in isolation – they urinated on them, sprayed gas into their faces in the cells, and denied them food. They provided a single litre bottle of water for a group of 60–100 people. Some of the protestors were beaten to such an extent that the OMON didn't release them through the main entrance where relatives and volunteers were waiting, but used an ambulance to take them out.

​For the people of Belarus, this level of brutality and fascism represented the final straw. The whole of Belarus left their homes and factory to strike in protest against OMON's violence.

Earlier in the year, I was commissioned to a piece of anti-war music based on Shostakovich's 7th Symphony. I called the piece The Hate and it was performed in March 2020 with the Altana dance group directed by Anna Korzik. The composition and performance has turned out to be prophetic. The recurring theme of the album can be described as a soundtrack to the Belarusian protests – with gun shots, grenade explosions and car horns. There is a part based on the sound of human torture, and another part that represents sorrow for the lost.

The mood of the composition mirrors exactly what's happening in Belarus today. The hate of the OMON is now being transformed into the hate of the population of Belarus to the regime of president-dictator Alexander Lukashenko. The photo we used for the artwork was taken from the performance by photo-journalist photographer Tanya Kapitonova. During the protests, a grenade exploded next to her and she suffered contusion – this happened just five minutes walk from my house.
​
All proceeds from the sale of The Hate will go to support the victims of violent repressions in Belarus, following the recent presidential elections.

This ambient track was written by me in 2013 after visiting the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco. Memories of the duet Esiko.
