Vol. 5 features 14 tracks (by Ukrainian artists and by artists from elsewhere). The compositions range from melodic synth progressions, to sampled soundscapes, to atmospheric ambient layers, to harsh machine noises. While droning tones bind the album together, the term “drone” functions as an interpretive prompt, giving artists the freedom to find their drones in a wide variety of styles and sounds.

Hosted by Kriegsbilder and Kyivpastrans Records. All proceeds from this event and sales of the album will be donated to Fallout Noise volunteer group to purchase drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On site you could buy tapes from vol.1 to vol. 5.

Drones for Drones is a project raising money for military drones by collecting and publishing drone music. Each volume includes tracks from Ukrainian and international artists in solidarity with Ukraine’s armed defense against Russian aggression.

Kyivpastrans is a record label founded in 2022 in Kyiv. They specialize in the publication of experimental and noise music digitally and on cassette.

Introducing our guest and director of the film – Alina Panasenko 🥀

Alina Panasenko is a director, screenwriter and visual artist, b.2000 (Severodonetsk, Ukraine) and based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Member of Ukrainian Film Academy. Studied in Kyiv National University of Theatre, Cinema and Television (screenwriter), Serhiy Melnychenko MYPH School (conceptual and art photography), Pinchuk Art Centre curatorial course. Sarajevo Talents Alumna. In her practice she researches on the nature of image itself, as well as eroticism within the visual culture, history and politics.

About Alina’s work 🥀

“Three episodes and an epilogue. Anna films men she meets in Kyiv, whether by accident or intention. She seeks partners open to one-night encounters. With her camera, she caresses their faces, shoulders, pelvises and smiles. Anna collects their phone numbers, documents and savours the closeness. She spends a night with a soldier, going through her private archive together and confronting a reality and intimacy she had previously turned her back on.
Accompanied by Barbie-pink opening credits and set to English Baroque composer Henry Purcell’s What Power Art Thou, the hidden Ukraine unfolds through the eyes of the protagonist. It is not quite a diary of a call girl; however, as director Panasenko notes, the short film presents an unusual encounter between “us” and “them” by employing the conventions of the erotic drama subgenre. The filmmaker also effectively reflects on the objectification of the army, the archetypal masculinity underpinning the military and its way of life, and the (im)possibility of intimacy during war, occasionally alluding to David Wark Griffith’s Intolerance (1916).”

Songs of Slow Burning Earth (2024)

A crowd of people are waiting in line to catch a train out of Kyiv. In a bread factory, workers continue to pull steaming pastries from the oven as bombs rumble in the distance. One particular moment cuts through time: a convoy of coffins moves through the landscape as local residents kneel by the roadside in silent respect. Over two years, Ukrainian filmmaker Olha Zhurba (‘Outside’, CPH:DOX 2022) has documented the everyday drama of her country during a barbaric war.

Each scene is its own chapter. The result is a panoramic epic of colossal, tragic weight. But also with small glimpses of light. From the first explosions and panicked evacuations to an everyday life where schoolchildren routinely seek shelter in bomb shelters and women search for their dead husbands in morgues. Alternately, the camera moves closer to and further away from the frontline.

‘Songs of Slow Burning Earth’ is a powerful work that depicts the mental transformation that occurs when war becomes everyday life. A testament to the human ability to adapt – and the ultimate tragedy of having to do just that.
