ALL PROCEEDS GO TO UNHCR HUMANITARIAN RELIEF IN UKRAINE

This piece was composed last year for the short film of the same name by Nicola Wills. Listening to it now, for me it carries qualities of lament and hope, which seem appropriate given the horrific events of the past week. The word ‘familiar’ comes from the same Latin root as ‘family’, which also seemed appropriate. We are one family. I cannot begin to comprehend the situation in Ukraine, or begin to understand how the people of that country must feel. How far things have gone to see civilians take up arms to defend their homes. What I can see is immense bravery and love in the face of reckless hate. I stand with the people of Ukraine and add my voice and support, such as it is, to all they are doing.

All proceeds from the sale of this piece will be donated to the UNHCR providing humanitarian relief for those in Ukraine whose lives have been devastated by this conflict.

‘creating a meeting place, where together we can ask questions about what it is to be
human’.
