Viktor Semashko
I first heard my voice from a radio set in 1991 when I read my own poems in the program “Inspiration Brought by the New Day” on Radio 1. I graduated from Belarusian State University, School of Journalism, in 2002 and was assigned to work at BA Radio where I hosted a program dwelling on the vigorous activities of “Energonadzor” (the energy oversight body). I have been working for Unistar since 2004. I prepare news casts and voice them on air. In 2005 I became the author and host of the “New Land” program dedicated to Belarusian music of all times and trends. A CD featuring the recordings of my programs about Belarusian underground of the 1960s and 70s aired on Unistar will be released in the nearest future. My book of poetry called “Maria S.” was published in 2006. I work on the radio and am simultaneously involved in musical activities my. I perform with various bands in many cities of Belarus, Poland, the Ukraine and Russia, as well as in Lithuania and France. I am keen on intuitive improvisation interlaid by some dacha gardening.
