Music right from the heart: ARTREFORM and ANTIAIDS Foundation held music lessons for HIV-positive children

The meeting was held in the ARTREFORM Records studio - a new label, with DJ JOSS as a resident and ideologist. The event in ARTREFORM was a far cry from the boring lessons at the music school: children, confronted with HIV had become acquainted with the world of electronic dance music, have talked to musicians, writers, have tried DJing, and even producing. Especially fascinating was the production lesson from sound masters ILYA Phantom and JOSS, when the young producers created their own unique sound. Following their theoretical course young guests enthusiastically took up a difficult, but such an exciting thing - music writing. These rhythms and sounds, created by children will be the basis for the track, that will be recorded soon.

With the help of the artist and the Boom Boom Rooom resident Tatiana Furmanova each of the children and their parents who came to the meeting, was able to draw a cover for the release and received a special gift to remember - a compact disc and a t-shirt.

ARTREFORM Records team and Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation will do everything they can to make such meetings happen and help children develop their talents.

«We are learning the joy» program was aimed at disclosure of talents and abilities of HIV-positive children with the help of the newest training programs with elements of art and work therapy, improving their health and social adaptation. This program was implemented by Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation with support of All-Ukrainian Network of PLWH.
