Protests in Maidan Square, Kiev, captured on an online stream by Andrius Arutiunian. He says: "What struck me were the sonic aspects of the whole scene - one can clearly hear how the protesters are beating some metal objects against something that could be some metal sheets. This was apparently done by people behind the front lines - usually elderly women - to signal the side and directions that the police and the special forces were approaching from. The apparent polyphony of sound and rhythm as well as the political context of this scene really still strikes me whenever I listen to this recording and I am glad I thought of recording it. "
