SI #16 This is Dima Afanasyev | Sinoptik
from Sentimental Illness Hosted by Rob Leland
Dima Afanasyev of the Ukrainian superband, Sinoptik. What can I say that I haven't mentioned a million times before online in various ways? I love Dima. He's pure. He's kind. He's an amazing musician. A genius in so many ways. His music is legend in Ukraine and his stature is assured. I fell in love with his band when I heard the 2021 album, The Calling. It's truly revolutionary. It smacks of hints to the spiritual metal of the 70's. If you like Pink Floyd or Cactus or Vanilla Fudge or the fuzz of the late 70's or the 'stoner' bands of the early 90's, then Sinoptik is for you. Always referential, but never derivative. This is guitarist, songwriter, and all around amazing humanitarian, Dima Afanasyev. ---- Time Codes: 1:00 Rob's cousin died 4:00 Kandis Martin 7:00 Ladies and gentlemen, Dima Afanasyev 11:00 Ten years on tour 15:00 Being a working musician in Eastern Europe 19:00 The US sending jets to Ukraine for war 23:00 Playing with people's lives 27:00 When the Ukraine Russian war began 31:00 Sinoptik and Jinjer and the war PATREON INTERLUDE: This would be where the reactions and silly stuff would be.
