To be honest I found this assignment quite challenging - but I think that’s part of the secret mixter fun, isn’t it? Sparky’s musical style is pretty contrary to what I prefer (or am able to) create. Neither did I find samples I could work with.

Then CO²MPLICATIONS started to grab my attention. If you want to read more about the creational process, please check of the “How I did it” link.

Once the song was in a good shape it needed a title. Or didn’t it? Russia (or to be more precise Putin) started its invasion into the Ukraine and once again the world got a little bit more complicated. As if Covid and the climate crises were not enough to deal with.

I really hope that the ukrainian people can defend there freedom and their right to elect their leaders in a democratic way. Maybe countries like Germany did not do enough in advance. Maybe what we did did help to give Ukraine time to prepare. Should Ukraine have been part of NATO or EU or would that have been the “reason” for Putin to start an even larger war? Why is China so keen to stand behind Russia?

Well: It’s complicated.
