On March 30, 2020, in the midst of quarantine that aimed to slow down the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus in Ukraine, we launched the Quarantine Music Days project with the hope of making the days spent in self-isolation emotional and useful for the community.

We invited musicians (whereever they are, using whatever technique they have at hand) to create short videos with their own music or with the music of contemporary composers.

In addition to making music, the musicians also reflected in those videos on a new way of life, consisting of rituals-particles of life in a self-isolation (such as a proper hand-washing with a soap, helping the elderly or sometimes just exhaustingly shortening of the day among four walls in the appartment).

Therefore we (each in his/her own way) spread the message that contributing to slowing down the pandemic is both possible and extremely important.

Composers and performers who had been in self-isolation in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Yalta, Baltimore, Shizuoka and Izmir joined the project.
