Tribute to Ukraine
In Odessa, Ukraine, there is a festival called "Two Days and Two Nights of New Music". I played there some years ago, performing compositions of Ukrainian composers Ludmila Samodaieva and Julia Gomelskaya, as well as pieces of mine, one of which was "Survivor". Now, this survivor hurts in my heart and I dedicate it to the inhabitants of that cruelly invaded country.
You can take a look at these four videos, each one showing a work.
1. "Survivor", by Josep-Maria Balanyà 2. “The Faces of rain", by Ludmila Samodaeva". 3. "Piece nº 6 from Cycle Seven Touches", by Julia Gomelskaya 4. "À gauche, I" by Josep-Maria Balanyà
My pieces “Survivor” and “À gauche, I" appear on my CD "Un peu à gauche, svp", released on 2007 by Laika Records.
The other pieces of these CD are:
They burn your inner peace
Ritual of silence
Daytime stroll
À gauche II
They annihilate you
Ritual secondo
They skin you alive
Night-time ramble
They destroy what you love
They rip out your entrails
After
These titles, this music, want to reflect the times we live in and the pain that Ukraine is now suffering. We must continue to say NO TO WARS and continue to act accordingly.
