Lost Toys by Andrii Kunin
Why do toys get lost? Perhaps, they were left behind in the wake of war and displacement, or children simply outgrew them. The album 'Lost Toys' is a childhood sonic excavation with its mixture of microscopic beats, half-acoustic textures, physical modelling synths and toy sounds. It culminates with the abstract ballad 'Childhood's End' - named after the book by Arthur C. Clarke.

Чому губляться іграшки? Можливо, їх покинули внаслідок війни та переселень, або діти просто переросли їх. Альбом «Lost Toys» — це аудіорозкопки дитинства з сумішшю мікроскопічних ритмів, напівакустичних текстур, physical modelling синтезаторів та звуків різних дитячих іграшок. Його кульмінацією є абстрактна балада «Childhood's End», названа на честь книги Артура К. Кларка.
