Zavoloka

Good morning.

It’s Friday so we’re listening to something more upbeat. Today we’re listening to Zavoloka, a Ukrainian electronic producer and DJ from Kyiv. Since the aughts she’s made experimental electronic music, taking influences from Ukrainian folk traditions and digital avant-garde. She collects synths, especially German-made Waldorf synths like the Blofeld and the Quantum, she told 15 Questions. She considers improvisation on her synths a form of meditation. We’re first playing her 2020 record, Ornament, which consists of propulsive techno tracks. We’re also playing Syngonia, from 2018, which is slower and more distorted.
