This piece represents a cross-section of my ongoing exploration of percussion and electronics. In recent months, I have focused on the electronic and harmonic language of my music, while I have had the opportunity to play a lot of percussion. The former is synonymous with composition for me, and the latter is a growing fascination for me as a musician. The work with the work has given me a sense of security in letting different impulses come into play. Therefore, this is probably also my most electronics-oriented piece to date.

Olya Zikrata: TO WHOM IT MAY SPEAK: Scenes of Ukrainian truth, and terror

This audio paper narrates through the experiences and ambiences of Russian aggression to which Ukrainians relate a long history of Russia’s imperial statehood. (Plokhy, 2023) It seeks a space of ethics in which sound expresses and gives testimonial to Ukrainian tragedy. In February 2023, Ukrainian art historian Kateryna Iakovlenko wrote an essay in which she claimed a justice-seeking quality to “cruel”, and “poor”, images, contesting a particular labeling of the images as “sensitive content”. (Iakovlenko, 2023) The audio paper resonates with Iakovlenko’s discussion, seeking a similar quality in “cruel”, and “poor”, sounds which were recorded hastily to make the war traceable in the experience of its victims. These sounds are not to be assessed for value-producing acoustics but fathomed in the actuality of ruination. 

I take ruination as a sonic state and worldly entanglement, mobilizing it as a force against which powers of resistance are measured. The audio paper invests in the exploration of Ukrainian resistance, locating in the world-ruining times a sonority of the Ukrainian desire to live and Russia’s genocidal intent to end Ukrainian living.

TO WHOM IT MAY SPEAK: Scenes of Ukrainian truth, and terror

This track by Maria Papadomanolaki with Peter Cusack was submitted to 'Intermission an Audio Portrait of Place' for a live broadcast event in 2013.

The project was produced by the artist collective Echoes for the Lisbon Architecture Treinnale and curated by Jennie savage. This track was selected from an international call asking people to record their 'local', in response to the question 'What can a sound recording tell us about architecture?'

This archive brings all of the recordings together. A full list of contributors can be seen here:

In September 2013, Maria Papadomanolaki invited Peter Cusack to take a conversational sound walk inside Liverpool Street Station by taking as a prompt and starting point an excerpt from W.G. Sebald’s novel “Austerlitz”. 

Listening through reading becomes a chain of actions and reactions, of remembering and of memory. Site-specificity here is expanded into a sonic perceptual ecology within and beyond the station through perceptual triggers, bodily motions, conversational arches and auraly ephemeral actions and events. The impersonal becomes topical, detailed and very personal as the flow of time is slowed down to listen, reflect and discuss.

Maria Papadomanolaki with Peter Cusack – A Conversational Sound Walk inside Liverpool Street Station

Cold nights and warmer sunny days causes stress on thick lake ice. As the ice freezes and melts on a daily basis, periodic cracking and pinging sounds can be heard, sometimes quite dramatically. This track is edited from an all night recording made at a lake in south Estonia, a "greatest cracks" if you will, from more than 6 hours of material.

Kaija is an ironic self-reflection on the everyday whirlwind of emotions, thoughts, and experiences. A tribute to all those who are still searching light in the darkness.
