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.

More exclusive music

Premiere: Katarina Gryvul 'Tysha' (Maoupa Mazzocchetti Remix)

система | system is proud to present a compilation of various Ukrainian artists and performers "SESTRO".

"SESTRO" is a compilation of electronic music from the Odesa-based label система | system, designed to bring together musicians from Ukraine who have been released on our label and performed at events we have organized. For many years we strive to cover a wide, diverse, and adventurous spectrum of Ukrainian music. The goal of the compilation is to directly financially support (ГО Сфера) Sphere (@womenspheresolidarity) which is a Kharkiv-based organization that actively helps women and LGBT+ people from eastern Ukraine in territories that are heavily affected by war. NGO Sphere (ГО Сфера) supplies crisis kits for women in frontline areas and also provides financial assistance to vulnerable groups of women, organizes legal and medical consultations, provides psychological assistance, informational campaigns, and activist events.

"We have never had an experience of working with women in conditions of stress, shock, and grief like today. Now we are trying to gather our experience and the experience of our colleagues from other countries to help deal with the terrible consequences of the survivors" - Anna Sharygina, a representative of NGO Sphere (ГО Сфера).

We believe that giving visibility to Ukrainian culture is an important part of our struggle, because Russia's war against Ukraine is imperialistic in nature, and for three centuries the works of Ukrainian authors have been denied and destroyed.
We will never agree to be dominated. We want, as artists, to give all possible support through our work to the brave volunteers now active in Ukraine, who are heroically fighting to save the most vulnerable.

система | system з гордістю презентує компіляцію різних українських артисток та артистів "SESTRO"

"SESTRO" - це компіляція електронної музики від одеського лейблу система | system, яка покликана об'єднати музикантів_ок з України, що випускалися на нашому лейблі та виступали на організованих нами заходах. Протягом багатьох років ми прагнемо висвітлювати широкий та різноманітний спектр української музики. Мета компіляції — надати пряму матеріальну підтримку організації Сфера (@womenspheresolidarity) з Харкова, що наразі активно допомагає жінкам та ЛГБТ+ людям зі Сходу України на територіях, які сильно страждають від війни. ГО Сфера постачає кризові комплекти для жінок у прифронтових районах, а також надає фінансову допомогу вразливим групам жінок, організовує юридичні та медичні консультацій, надає психологічну допомогу, проводить інформаційні кампанії, активістські заходи.

“В нас ніколи не було досвіду роботи із жінками в умовах такого стресу, шоку і горя. Наразі ми намагаємося зібрати свій досвід і досвід наших подруг з інших країн, щоб допомогти впоратися з жахливими наслідками пережитих подій тим, хто вижив” - Анна Шаригіна, представниця ГО Сфера.

Ми вважаємо, що надання видимості українській культури є важливою частиною нашої боротьби, адже війна Росії проти України, має імперіалістичний характер і протягом трьох століть твори українських авторів_ок піддавали цензурі та знищували. Ми боремося проти Росії, що прагне нас колонізувати, ми боремося за нашу свободу, ми ніколи не погодимося, щоб над нами панували. Ми хочемо, як художниці_ки, своєю роботою надати всю можливу підтримку хоробрим волонтеркам, які діють зараз в Україні та відважно боряться за порятунок найуразливіших груп населення.

Grains of Peace w/ Menzurrr @ 20ft Radio - 08/09/2022

This mix was recorded at the beginning of October in Atyrau, after crossing Russian-Kazakhstan border. Max selected favorite works of contemporary electronic minimalists to build a soundscape through the mathematical accuracy of the musical language. Fragile biological constructions of micro world and technogenic elements existed in virtual reality maintain the focus of Cotton Pills’ audio research. Music is not only his way of self-expression, but the most important means of communication. 

For the last 2 years you could hear his DJ sets and live performances in various significant Moscow places from GES-2 to Mutabor. He is also a member of Kruzhok Community, co-founder of Kruzhok Radio and Errring Bar (2021). Now, located in Almaty, artist trying to build cultural dialog with local music scene translating his vision of modern electronic sound.

***

Микс был записан в начале октября в Атырау, после пересечения российско-казахстанской границы. Макс выбрал любимые произведения современных электронных минималистов, чтобы создать звуковой ландшафт с помощью математической точности музыкального языка. Хрупкие биологические конструкции микромира и техногенные элементы, существующие в виртуальной реальности, остаются в центре внимания аудиоисследований Cotton Pills. 

Музыка - это не только его способ самовыражения, но и важнейшее средство общения. 

За последние 2 года вы могли услышать его диджейские сеты и живые выступления в различных значимых местах Москвы от GES-2 до Mutabor. Он также является членом сообщества Кружок, соучредителем радио Кружок и бара Errring (2021). Сейчас, находясь в Алматы, артист погружается в новую музыкальную среду, выстраивая культурный диалог с локальной сценой, транслируя свое видение современного электронного звучания
