- The first four-hour show, broadcast via Radio Vilnius, will spotlight experimental music from Ukraine.
The first broadcast of Ukraine Resistance Radio is today, March 19th.
The new platform will launch with four hours of experimental and underground music from Ukrainian artists. You can hear the transmission live on Lithuania's Radio Vilnius from 2 PM through 6 PM CET. After this, the show will be available to stream from Radio Vilnius's website.
The Resistance Radio project was set up to amplify the experimental sounds and music of Ukrainian artists and their collaborations with international musicians. Over the past month, Ukrainian producers living inside and outside the country were invited to submit new experimental music, field recordings, noise and other DIY electronics.
The organisers of the project say they're "using the medium of radio—online and terrestrial broadcast—as a chance to go beyond words and jam available outlets across Europe and internationally with signals of Ukrainian expression."
The music on today's show was curated by Sophia Bulgakova, an interdisciplinary Ukrainian artist currently based in the Netherlands; Dmytro Fedorenko, an artist and Ukrainian experimental electronic musician; producer, DJ and technologist Peter Kirn; and Lithuanian rock musician Andrius Mamontovas.
