The Kyiv composer preserving his city鈥檚 disappearing sounds
Ukrainian Composer Oleh Shpudeiko felt an urge to protect his home after Russia鈥檚 invasion. So he produced an album immortalising the quintessential sounds of his city.
After Russian fire was unleashed on his home, Ukrainian composer Oleh Shpudeiko had a powerful realisation: he needed to protect his city. He had spent over a decade recording the unique and quirky sounds of the metropolis of Kyiv and its inhabitants, so he turned to his collection of recordings and created an album, Kyiv Eternal, which celebrates and preserves the distinctive and disappearing sounds that make up the city.
Dave Fishwick is a British entrepeneur from the English town of Burnley who made millions selling minibuses, but he wasn't born rich, and he knows how it feels to have nothing. So when the banking crisis of 2008 wrought its havoc, he decided to put his fortune to good use and set up a lending company to try and help local businesses- be it florists or boat builders. Any profits his company makes go back to local charities. Dave's story is now the subject of a new Netflix film, Bank of Dave.
