Near-Daily Ukraine War Journal, 23 August: Conversation with Ukrainian Punk Band on Music and War
Part of the Speak Freely/Speak Sh*tty Podcast, from Ukrainian Freedom News with Zakhar Pikh and Joe Lindsley / 22 August 2022
The first days of the war were days without music. Then something changed: "When I finally found my headphones, it was a relief"
Why do Ukrainians make music in war-time? On our Near-Daily Ukraine War Journal I spoke with members of Ukrainian punk band Dity Inzheneriv, "Children of Engineers," about their anti-totalitarian music, Hong Kong freedom, Uighur freedom, Ukrainian freedom, music during war, George Orwell, Chinese information manipulation, etc.
"After a while you realize this is not a short thing, we need to figure out how to live through this, and you start looking for the tools to help you."
