about

I am still a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Russians are still trying to kill as many Ukrainians as they can. War is in full swing, I am here, I am a very different man. I have been promoted to Private First Class. I have been at the frontline near Bakhmut and near Energodar. I have seen Russians aim their rifles and their artillery at me. I have been hit with shrapnel in my bulletproof vest and I slept in a hole, and I lived in the same pair of boxers for a week. I have done my duty to my utmost ability and I have contributed directly to the Russian losses, while remaining unscathed. I left the trench near Bakhmut on the morning of my 28th birthday, after almost joining Club 27 the night before. I have been promoted to an intelligence position and now I am further away from the frontline, in a forest, on a computer, during my night shift, typing this. I have not left this forest in months.
This is a compilation of my quick piano excercies that I liked to do before the war. I lived with my friend Max in a nice old building in the centre of Kyiv and we had high ceilings and little money and a 1920's German piano. I would often venture into his room and sit down with my little Zoom recorder or iPhone and try to come up with a tiny piece over the course of ten minutes. It always worked. I always loved it, and these would usually end up on my John Object 2 or John Object 3 SoundCloud accounts, but to be honest, they feel as important to me as anything I've ever done. This is real.
The opening and closing pieces were recorded in March of 2023 near the frontline at Bakhmut. Upon my unit's arrival, we found a house that was inhabited solely by a gang of stray cats, smelled horrible, but was empty and had an old Ukrainian piano, used primarily as a shelf. My unit immediately started asking me to play, but sadly, many keys on the piano were out of order, out to lunch, missing in action. I did what I could, though, and it makes sense to me. Anyway, I'm rambling.
While I'm at a laptop and have internet, here it is.
Please know that Ukrainians are real people who are being killed by Russians every day. Russians are also, sadly, real people, and they do this willingly. Believe me.
Glory to Ukraine.
PFC Timur Dzhafarov, a.k.a. John Object
