about

Max Svitlo, a Ukrainian visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker, explores the uncharted territories of the subconscious, navigating through his personal tapestry of melancholy and darkness. From this experience of darkness, he begins to see light and love, which then becomes the essence of his media project, Svitlo (Ukrainian for "The Light").

In this album, Max Svitlo unveils an expedition of improvisational music rituals birthed in the serene isolation of a village nestled within the heart of Ukraine. Svitlo's music is an odyssey from the depths of despair to the peaks of hope, from the resilience found in loss to the serene beauty of eternal melodies and the abyssal echoes of dark realms. It features drone soundscapes, noise textures, poignant poetry, and spontaneous improvisations across an array of instruments, among these an accordion, played by a friend who currently stands on the front lines in defense of Ukraine.

In his poetry, you can hear "Dereva Moi Rakety" [ukr. "Trees are my rockets"]. It truly feels like experiencing a sound world reminiscent of Paradzhanov in the dark woods and endless fields of Ukraine, where spirits call for battle. It is an awakening flow that instills a sense of freedom slowly exploding from within. After listening to this album, your thoughts become brighter and clearer in some way, serving as a hymn for those battling their inner demons. It's akin to an orchestra of angels flying above us, with blood-stained wings and tears in their eyes.
