#NowPlaying #OleksandrYurchenko Reading about #NovayaScena the underground scene in Ukraine in the 90s. Yurchenko was in a bunch of bands at the time. By all accounts he was a talented multi-instrumentalist. He even played some homemade instruments, as can be heard on “Count to 100. Symphony # 1”. Sadly, he became debilitated after a stroke and died a few years later in 2020. https://muscut.bandcamp.com/album/recordings-vol-1-1991-2001

#NovayaScena I’m sure someone else is better qualified to be a historian of this subject. Here’s an article in The Quietus which goes into more detail. https://thequietus.com/articles/32983-oleksandr-yurchenko-reissue

He was a prominent figure in Ukrainian underground music, but little of his music ever officially saw the light of day. Jakub Knera investigates Oleksandr Yurchenko, who created peculiar compositions on self-made instruments
