Our hearts are heavy right now as we’ve helplessly watched the Russian invasion of Ukraine unfold on the news. Many of us are looking for ways to help and support Ukraine. Contributing music is one of the ways that I can help. Raising money and awareness makes a big difference. But most importantly, it all lets the Ukrainian people know that we care, we see what is happening and we want to help. For Ukraine (Volume 1) was released on March 18 through Headphone Commute. Proceeds will be go to the International Rescue Committee to support displaced children and families with vital supplies in Ukraine. I contributed a solo instrumental track called Light Must Come. My intention was to offer a song that reflects the strong, irrepressible spirit of the Ukrainian people.
Many amazing artists have donated some beautiful, moving music to this first volume, including Hammock, Goldmund, Nailah Hunter, Julia Kent, Alaskan Tapes, Rachika Nayar, Lea Bertucci & Lawrence English. For Ukraine (Volume 2) is due to soon be released soon and will include Ryuichi Sakamoto and Illia Bondarenko, Heather Woods Broderick, Benoit Pioulard, Helios, Simon Scott, Sophie Hutchings and more. Curated by Hollie Kenniff with Rafael Anton Irisarri volunteering his mastering. Please listen/share and support if you can.
