Ukrainian composer Heinali to publish an album of sounds of the city of Kyiv

Oleh Shpudeiko bought himself a handheld digital tape recorder in 2012 and started to record sounds around his city - rail stations, the sound of traffic and birdsong, the dripping of water in a tunnel, the rumbling of trains on a track, the babble of voices in a shopping mall – all sliced up, manipulated, accompanied by synthesisers and transformed into a piece of compelling ambient music. The city in question is his hometown of Kyiv. The album, 'Kyiv Eternal', was completed after the Russian invasion and is coming out next week under the name Heinali. Guardian presents the album and the composer.
