TYSHA (Ukrainian for silence) is the second longplayer of Ukrainian-born, Poland-bread and Austria-based multi-instrumentalist and singer Katarina Gryvul. Following her enigmatic song ”In Coma”, which released in 2020 on Standard Deviation, Gryvul delivers an 8-track long album of blooming, emotional and tactile electronica pop ballads, resulting in an intensely personal journey into the artist's inner world at the most silent time of her life.

In an attempt to deal with her decaying perception of reality and the overwhelming sense of isolation caused by the experience of global pandemic, Gryvul finds refuge in silence. She is mesmerized by the all-consuming absence of sound, and the many ways in which silence can be perceived: silky, enveloping, calm, but also caustic, fractured and sharp. TYSHA was written entirely during the pandemic. Gryvul describes that being surrounded by people during that challenging period started feeling like ”a potential threat” and as something unnatural and artificial.” She says: “It made me feel like I was torn between two realities, virtual and real, and did not belong to any of them”.  

TYSHA sounds imminently disturbing, yet soft, with ghostly harmonics, tempis and a wide variety of musical and lyrical influences. The album feeds from ”something that has already vanished” - a feeling of longing in a moment of uncertainty, crystallized in balladic writing and subtle elven-like soundscapes. 

Gryvul, who usually works with classical instruments, now explores a more electronic sound with beats and apparent beatgrid structure, referencing the environment in which what once felt natural and  organic started feeling artificial and synthetic. Varying in tempo, moods and instruments, TYSHAcreates an emotional journey, exploring different forms of silence, representing the tension between the virtual and the real world and reflecting Gryvul’s feelings of hostility and alienation in contrast with her longing for connection.

The album is supported with remixes by London-based artist Flora Yin-Wong, contributing on ”Bezodnya” with an ethereally soft and lyrically poetic rework and Belgian experimentalist Maoupa Mazzocchetti reinterpreting ”Tysha” as a gloomy, ecstatic and roaring piece for the dance floor.

TYSHA releases on February 9th 2022.

KATARINA GRYVUL - TYSHA (PREVIEWS)

Mixed from Krasnodar by @user-251557634

Спонсор вашего спокойного часа на этот вечер – микс краснодарской восходящей звезды Коли Долгова, он же Пайта, а так же Проделки Больной Головы и много кто ещё. И да, это еще один мистер с @fuselab, где в прошлом году вышел один самых интересных альбомов года по нашей версии – «То, чего нет». 
Следущий час вас познакомит с Колей поближе, здесь как раз встретится все то, что мы отдаленно слышим в его музыке: классика британского трип-хопа и русскоговорящее даунтемпо.

Atoraye is the project of electronic and multi-instrumentalist Geo Kotanov, resident of Kruzhok Radio, member of KLU project, producer and co-founder of Formless fm. Inspired by the new Middle Eastern sound of the capitals of Egypt, Lebanon and Iran, Geo creates his own ornate post-oriental language. Geo's Assyrian roots give his music a distinctive flavour. 
Rough and spacey dub-techno, moving into deafening noise and leftfield, which moves seamlessly into soothing, depressive droning and fragile ambient. It's all filled with whipping percussion, looped chants in Semitic languages and mystical oud playing.

Dark matter, oriental sound, UK vibe, some broken rhythms and even the premiere of a new track (comming soon almost)

Pre-order

Premiere: Whaler — Зрада (feat Mykola Lebed)

The fourth issue of Festina Lente is hybrid: different styles are intertwined in it, creating a darker and more clubby story this time.  

The episode begins with a hyperpop track by Europa&500 producers, which collides with an experimental UK track by Czech producer Sam Link, several new DNGDNGDNG remixes that took me to the quick, especially "Dime". 

As usual, I will voice a few names, then dive in to enjoy the unusual sound of the experimental club scene: An Avrin, Ido Plumes, Bicep, Bjork, Neana, Kellen303, Ikava Pii.

Festina Lente is a radio show where Lyudmila Severtseva will share the changes in experimental club music that she is tracking.

ϙue about *Clairvoyance* EP ^

"Mountain cries for her children, elegy. 
Bitter, snow-covered solitude. 
The Quest Of Life is to rule upon the Matter. 
Now, when the answer is finally mine, 
I don't need it anymore.

Drown in acoustic innerscapes, 
I realise myself in the dawn of times. 
Salt waters, 
Metaborn.

I do not feel anxious.

You and I in a dance of hertzes, 
Structured pace. 
Have we been here before?

Star Alliance, mission in unity.

The Earth is expanding, so is alive. 
She is whole, conscious, and panpsychistic. 
And I don't need anything anymore."
