Alex is a musician with Ukrainian folk-rock band Selo i Ludy.
Under siege in Kharkiv, in the east of the country, he and his fellow band members are taking refuge - and remarkably still recording music - in a studio now doubling as a bomb shelter.
In the second instalment of our audio diary series, following day-to-day life in a warzone, Alex describes how he continues to play with his band as the city is destroyed around them.
