Ukrainian electronic artist Andrey Sirotkin releases the mini-album Vyrij which is dedicated to the problem of deforestation

EP Viriy includes six tracks created by the artist over the last two years. The sound of the mini-album varies from light dance music to more raw and experimental music. Its genres range from techno and electro to ambient. The album contains two tracks recorded with other Ukrainian artists, including the founder of the electronic instrument studio-shop MachineRoom Vadim Griboedov, and the ambient musician Vlad Suppish. Sirotkin recorded the album in his Kyiv studio, using a modular synthesizer. ‘Vyr’ and ‘Khaschi’ were recorded live in one take. The key track ‘Vyrij’ was created in 2019 and has repeatedly appeared in the artist’s DJ sets.

‘Vyrij’ will be released on September 2 via Mystictrax label, owned by Ukrainian electronic musician Volodymyr Baranovsky, known as Lostlojic. The release will be available on digital as well as on cassettes.

Sirotkin has been writing music for the last ten years. He previously worked under the nicknames I Wannabe and Shade Of Drums, but Andrey will now be released under his own name. In the future, he will continue to produce music as Andrey Sirotkin. ‘My music is an integral part of my being. I’m not a fictional character, and I’m not a music project; I’m a real person who lives his music’, explains the artist regarding this change.

New tracks have no direct connection to the Carpathian forests topic, where deforestation is the most acute. Still, all the names of the compositions are Ukrainian and are associated with this region. During the writing of the EP, Andrey visited the Carpathians as a tourist. While working on the concept of the album, he learned about the NGO ForestCom, which deals with illegal deforestation in Ukraine. This organization was created in 2020 by scientists and experts involved in forestry and environmental protection. ForestCom helped the musician learn more about the problem and the ways to solve it, and so the artist has decided to disseminate this information.

‘I have always believed that any human action should be aimed at creation. The ability to speak to the masses is a great responsibility, and I want to make the world a better place through my work. Forests are the most crucial part of the planet’s ecosystem, as they produce oxygen, are the habitat for animals, and they prevent natural disasters, such as droughts, floods, and landslides. At the same time, the forests in Ukraine are the victim of a large-scale shadow business. In our country, the state system of forestry and law and order function unsatisfactorily, which is used by those who fell trees for their personal enrichment’, explains Sirotkin.

Ukraine's forested area is one of the largest in Eastern Europe, with about 9.7 million hectares, comprising nearly 17% of the country. The official state statistics report that less than 1% of all annual felling is illegal; however, research conducted by third parties estimates that anywhere from 5% up to 50% of all logging violates Ukrainian law. Our cohesion and support for professionally oriented projects, such as the independent satellite monitoring system which the Deep Green Ukraine team is working on, can help.  If you have personally witnessed illegal tree felling or other environmental crime, file a complaint with the State Ecological Inspectorate of Ukraine or call the police immediately.
