A ten-track album written in collaboration with rehabilitation specialists from the Kyiv Military Hospital. Release 24 May 2026.
Artem Pyvovarov presents the conceptual album 'Breathe' on 24 May 2026 — World Physical Rehabilitation Day. This is a 10-track LP written in a year of collaboration with rehabilitation specialists from the Pyrohov Kyiv Military Hospital. Each song of the album is functionally linked to a specific post-injury rehabilitation stage: 1) 'Wake Up', 2) 'First Breath', 3) 'Pain', 4) 'Growth', 5) 'Breathe', 6) 'Steps', 7) 'Calm', 8) 'Inhale', 9) 'Strength', 10) 'Will'. The musical palette is therapeutically calibrated. Tempos from 60 to 110 BPM (corresponding to physiological heart rates in different rehabilitation phases). Instrumental part minimalist: piano, soft strings, breathing wind instruments. Lyrics — based on real stories of 12 veterans who underwent rehabilitation in 2023-2025. Combat brothers' names are protected by consent — pseudonyms feature in the songs. The album has therapeutic certification — the Ukrainian Association of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation officially recommended 'Breathe' the audio accompaniment for standard rehabilitation protocols in military hospitals. Pyvovarov will donate 100% of digital streaming revenue to the Veteran Further Rehabilitation Foundation 'Come Back' (a new foundation founded in 2025 together with rehabilitation specialist Anton Derkach).
