This is a self-portrait in the form of an audiovisual film. "Swords to Ploughshares" is a concept in which military weapons are converted for peaceful civilian applications.
This is the story of an instrument wrought from the raw sounds of war and moments of everyday life under its shadow. Recorded in Kyiv and the Carpathian Mountains during the invasion of Ukraine by Maks Histibe. Sound designed and crafted into a living virtual instrument.

This library offers the artist’s unique vantage point during a transformative place and time in their life and the world around them. His goal is to transmute an act of oppression into a tool for expression. It is not meant to be a definitive, unbiased, unvarnished or complete representation of the artist’s entire experience or those around him. It is intended as a work of constructive and reusable sonic art. It is a dim and hazy window into another human’s personal experience, crafted with the simple hope that it serves and inspires your own creative process.
It includes field recordings made in and around his hometown and during a temporary evacuation in the mountains during the heaviest period of shelling near his house. The subject matter includes the everyday sounds of his life and his city, quickly adapting to war time and often punctuated by blasts and the wail of air raid sirens. It explores the gentle sounds of nature in the mountains made all the more surreal by eerily distorted late-night shortwave radio broadcasts filling the airwaves.
The development of the interface for the instrument was made possible through a collaboration between me and one of the world’s leading virtual instrument developers, Soundiron.
