Chaos During War

I tried to capture the horror the Ukrainian civilians are going through right now. The constant bombing, the single rifle shots, the machine gun fire, the chaos in the streets and they run, duck, and/or hide for their lives. Hopefully the heavens open up and take those souls

If you are looking for a sweet melody then bypass this one. There is a lot of dysonans in this piece. My guitar playing is an attempt to express the chaos in the people.

I hope you like it for what it is.

PS - Some may not consider this music. That is no problem.
Also I will be on vacation/holiday for a week and may not be able to respond to any comments.

Mario,
Scary stuff..so is the reality. You captured some of the horror and chaos well. After 70+ days, still feels like a bad dream to me and a hope that I will wake up and all this craziness will be gone.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

That's interesting. It reminds me of the Moody blues one of their songs kinda ends on a big orchestral major chord like that.

Whoa!

Erie. Dissonant. A great piece of program music. Well done!

Works for what it's aiming to be!

Hi Mario,

As intended, this is not exactly a pleasure to listen to. But if you close your eyes and try to picture the situation many Ukrainian people are in then, yes this is powerful.

Powerful stuff indeed, Mario!

I thought it was terrific though I'd have removed the sounds on the left that sound like gun shots as they're a little too real. Excellent guitar work.

Captivating, right from the very first beat.

Masterfully delivered, and illustrates the situation perfectly.

In all that chaos I can still hear the kindness and resolve of those hiding. This is an excellent example of art imitating life, and a terrible example of what life is like for so many. Thanks, Mario. Enjoy your vacation.

Appropriately dramatic music.

Well done, Mario.

Nice that the last chord sounds like "hope".

Powerful scary soundz... very cool Mario.

Hi Mario
Nobody should hear such sounds in reality !!!
But unfortunately this is not the case...
Maybe your song helps a little bit to let people think about it
and to do everything so that nobody has to experience war...
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Powerful.

This could be the soundtrack of a documentary. Ominous and chaotic and horrific and yet, thankfully, a feeling of an ending to it all with the angelic sounding closure.

Well done,

J&B

Incredible piece Mario. I loved the chaotic instrumentation going on in the left and right and the drum booming dead center keeping the focus. This is really really good.

i'll echo what bloc head said...
a truly scary world sometimes.
but i have to say its an inventive piece /testament to the times we live in.
v nice ending mate.

all i want is world peace and love.

best

Mario

Well constructed and composed.

You certainly achieved your goal.

Very intriguing soundscape, the guitar sounds great and those shots bring fine rhythmic elements. Chaotic, but cinematic. Heavenly ending. Very masterful art, I'm amazed at your talent.

Great job on this Mario! You have a brilliant, imaginative musical mind! You always come up with the sort of stuff I would never dream of! Thanks, Torrey
