about

In 2020, we had the pleasure of collaborating with a number of singers for our album "Our Beautiful World"
network23.bandcamp.com/album/our-beautiful-world

We connected with July Vitraniuk from the Ukraine via her page on Fiverr and we sent her the backing for a track as a suggestion. July is a very talented folk singer and she created the melody line for the song based on a Ukrainian folk tune "Ой там на горі" - which translates as "Oh, There on the Mountain".

Her beautiful and haunting voice blended beautifully with our electronics and we were so pleased to complete the track.

In 2021 July appeared on Голос країни (Voice of the Country) - the Ukrainian version of the Voice and made it through to the later stages, sharing her amazing voice in a number of styles

July lives in Kyiv and we hope she and her family and friends are safe and well.

This album is a collection of the mixes we did of "Oh, there on the Mountain" plus a new mix for 2022.

We've also included a new trackІшли чумаки чотири года (чумацька)
which according to Google Translate means
"Chumaks went for four years (milking)" which came from a performance by July on youtube.

All proceeds from this album will go to DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal run by Unicef.

Song title - "Oh, there on the hill"/"Ой там на горі".

The words are traditional folk

Oh there on the mountain!
Oh there on the cliff!
Oh there they had sat,
there sat a pair of doves

There they did sit,
they were pairing off,-
Embracing with their grey,
their grey open wings (2)

A hunter appeared
from round the steep mountains
He broke, he tore apart
the pair of doves

He killed the male dove
and caught the female,
He brought her home -
let her down to the floor...

He spilled out wheat for her -
right up to her knee
He poured out water for her -
right up to her wing

The dove does not eat,
the dove --does not drink,
And yet to that steep mountain
she flies to weep
