My Carpathian Music Special is featured on David G. Balasch’s amazing show The Invisible Shelter on Noods Radio (Broadcasted on Sun, Jan 16 2022).

This episode is a meditation on the traditional music of Carpathian countries including my native Ukraine as well as Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Romania and Slovak Republic. This is not necessarily a Bartókian focus on the rich melodic vocabulary of the region. Rather I am interested in the textural aspects of this music: drone, microtonality and Middle Eastern style ornamentation.

In addition I was keen to include some contemporary pieces by the experimental musicians from Eastern Europe that appear to be influenced by this folk heritage. Roughly half of this show is dedicated to Carpathian music echoes in post-minimalist, ambient and avant classical composition of such artists as Henryk Górecki, Lubomyr Melnyk, Księżyc, Svitlana Nianio, Iury Lech, Valentina Goncharova and others.
