about

Divnaya Hodina, or Strange Hour is a time upon the whole earth.
- An orphaned girl stumbles endlessly searching their mother.

This deeply moving music is an original instrumental arrangement of a traditional song from the Ukraine.

It is music for times when there is no reason to celebrate. This recording created with electric and acoustic violins is more than the sum of the notes played. I hope you feel the sound of gravel against concrete close against your skin, on frozen ground, in famine, dehydrated and without a speck of sanitation. There’s nothing comfortable dazed to a point of blindness, deafened by explosions, senses truly numbed, maybe only relief it's not you. There aren't any words I can add to the purpose of this music, really.
