Article on “For Peace. Against War. Who Is Not?” in SKUG.at

Musiker*innen wider den Ukraine-Krieg

Einen gigantischen Longplayer mit beinahe 19 Stunden Spielzeit hat Kai Niggemann in Kooperation mit Component Recordings in kurzer Zeit geschaffen. Gleich 199 Acts, darunter Stephen Mallinder von Cabaret Voltaire, Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner, Cico Beck von The Notwist, Jack Dangers von Meat Beat Manifesto, Philippe Petit oder Mia Zabelka & Arun Natarajan, sind auf »For Peace. Against War. Who Is Not? A Compilation For The People Of Ukraine« (Component Recordings) vertreten. Ein multidiverses Line-up aus 27 Ländern als Spiegelbild für eine kulturell und bevölkerungsmäßig äußerst diverse Ukraine. Der Erlös aus dem Compilation-Verkauf wird gleichmäßig an die Hilfsorganisationen Vostok SOS und das Ukrainische Rote Kreuz verteilt. Ein guter Grund für einige E-Mail-Fragen an Miturheber Kai Niggemann, seines Zeichens Soundartist und Musiker aus Köln, der mit den beiden Betreiber*innen des Labels Component Records, Elizabeth Virosa und Robert Galbraith aus Providence, Rhode Island (USA) den grandiosen Sampler kuratierte.
