A-а-а-а-а, на горі
Постать в білому кольорі.
Ха-ха-ха-ха-ха, яка
Її посмішка легка.
Має крила, як сова.
Сльози кидає вниз, як слова.
Сльози кидає крізь сміх.
Гірко так, у гірський потік.
А коли вона злетить,
Ніч закінчиться на мить,
Й на хвилиночку одну
Я забуду про війну.
(translation)
A-а-а-а-а,
On the mountainside
A figure all in white.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
How its smile is light.
With wings just like an owl,
Tears stream down like words.
Tears shed through laughter,
Bitter tears into the mountain stream.
And then, when it takes flight,
Night ends for a heartbeat.
And for one fleeting moment
I forget about the war.
Let me paint. Let me paint.
Let me paint over this story forever.
Burn this page. Burn it together.
Let me paint. Let me paint.
Give me power. Give me power.
Give me power to bury the missiles.
Mark the end of the death coalitions.
Give me power. Give me power.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
Raise your voice to summon the ocean.
Fearless winds be set into motion.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
March at morn. March of mourn.
Dew as tears, as blood, as a glaive.
Sun will rise yet from this grave.
March at morn. March of mourn.
Nation.
Language.
Your Identity.
Belonging to a common great idea.
Emotions.
Meanings.
Importance of national unity.
Set me free.
Set me free.
Take my nationality.
Give me many languages.
I want to be free.
I want to be free.
I want to love
A human,
A tree,
A bird,
A deer,
The ocean,
The sky,
Music,
Dance,
Voiceless,
Vocal,
Crying,
Joyful,
Strangers in this world,
Those like me.
The Irish
Sea
Breathes
Grandly.
I’m warmed
By every
Breath
From
This
Cold,
Mighty,
Beautiful
Giant
Who brings
A sense
Of order
To
The
Disturbing
Chaos
Of
An unhinged
World.
My yesterday
Bursts
Into
Today
Crashing
Hopes
With the hammer
Of worry.
And these
Blows
Gradually
Sync
With the breaking
Waves,
The breath
Of the sea.
And this
Becomes
One whole,
One cry,
One pain,
One thought,
One love,
One tone,
Of
The vast
Universe.
And then
Set free.
Thank you,
The sea.
I’m sick.
I’m unfixable forever.
I’m dysfunctional forever.
I’m sick.
I’m ugly.
It’s a part of my demeanour.
It’s the root of my charisma.
I’m ugly.
I’m old.
And my roots are in the ocean.
Not a country or a nation.
I’m old.
I’m raging.
I’m demolishing oppression.
I’m on fir in my depression.
I’m raging.
Behold, the curtain opens.
The starlight finds its way
Through the mist between the branches.
The owl hoots that it’s beginning.
This time you listen in silence.
I start to speak.
Who are you to tell me who I am?
Who do you think you are to define me?
A mother who is proud of her son
Justifies everything,
The father who comes home alive
And sober.
The game is fair if your school friend
Believes in your great future,
When your neighbour is in the club,
And he knows the right people.
Where is my mother?
Ask the grave.
Where is my father?
Cold breathes the tomb.
Where is my relative? Where is my friend?
Why does my neighbour turn their head?
To this country I came by luck.
Fair-play you say? What the fuck!
Who are you to tell me who I am?
Who do you think you are to define me?
Вітер злетів,
Вікна відкрив,
Шумно гасав
З гори на гору.
Сосни рубав,
Хвіртку зламав,
Книжку гортав
З горя на горе.
Странник, як я.
Мандрик, як я.
Чужак, як я.
Дурник, як я.
Лютий, як я.
Гнівний, як я.
Різкий, як я.
Радий, як я.
(translation)
The wind took flight
Opened windows,
Noisily rushed
From mountain to mountain.
Chopped down pines,
Broke down the gate,
Flipped through the book
From grief to grief.
A wanderer like me.
A stranger like me.
An outcast like me.
A fool like me.
Fierce like me.
Raging like me.
Coarse like me.
Happy like me.
За вікном дерева змокли.
За вікном зима настала.
Зняв у розпачі корону.
В воду вирушив помалу.
В воду вирушив без болю,
Без надії, без поради.
Та невже нема в нас волі?
Світ залишили вмирати.
(translation)
Outside the window trees got soaked.
Outside the window winter fell.
In despair they took off their crown,
Slowly inched into the water,
Entered without feeling
Helpless and without hope.
But do we really have no will
That we should leave the world to die?
about
GRIEF is a testament to minimalism, where the hauntingly intimate allure of dark jazz a cappella coexist with the fierce energy of hammering industrial electronic beats and poignant spoken word. It reflects the profound mastery of Zhenia Purpurovsky, a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, conductor, as well as award winning poet, singer-songwriter and actor, in partnership with the multi-instrumentalist Paul Chilton.
Originating in Ukraine and now residing in North Wales, tAngerinecAt embodies a rich tapestry of musical influences that intertwine West and East. The duo, consisting of Ukrainian-born Purpurovsky and British-born Chilton, channels their profound experiences of war and exile into their work, tackling these subjects through GRIEF in a deeply personal and resonant way.
Purpurovsky, a nonbinary producer and songwriter with a diverse ethnic heritage, conjures a universe of striking and powerful imagery. In this realm, the natural beauty of Wales and its elements serves as both a sanctuary and identity, particularly in the aftermath of extreme poverty, homelessness, disability, severe trauma, isolation, and the challenges faced due to activism, neurodivergence and queerness.
In GRIEF, Purpurovsky symbolically portrays Gwyn ap Nudd, the Welsh mythological psychopomp archetype, as a mediator between the conscious and unconscious realms, facilitating personal transformation. He identifies with this figure and assumes the role of Cyhyraeth, the Welsh counterpart of the Banshee, as he seeks solace in the whispers of the local sea. This ritualistic communion aids Purpurovsky in managing the tumultuous waves of anxiety in an unpredictable world. With a degree in folkloristics, Purpurovsky adeptly juggles rich cultural symbols, creating a tapestry of meaning.
The tone of the album carries the atmosphere of an Eastern Orthodox liturgy, something that is familiar to Purpurovsky from childhood. Being an atheist, does not stop Purpurovsky from honouring these experiences that helped him to survive at the time and reinterpret them in a radical collective ceremony of grief which heals and empowers.
GRIEF conveys a strong anti-war, anti-fascist, and anti-ecocide message, deeply rooted in the personal journey of Purpurovsky.
The album emerges as a masterfully crafted concoction of free-spirited, underground resistance brewed in a cauldron of haunting Twin Peaks-esque soundscapes and cathartic revelations, while shifting between languages. Even with its bleak undertones, this work evokes themes of hope, love, unity, and beauty, providing a counterpoint to escapism by embracing reality and navigating through despair to discover pathways to liberation.
