Kay Khachatryan aka n y s t a g m u s is a sound artist, relentless experimenter, and an explorer of obscure sonic phenomena from Yerevan, known for using field recordings and self-built devices to capture and manipulate sounds. His work focuses on preserving the authenticity of street and acoustic noises, while exploring the timbre and psychological aspects of sound. A veteran of Yerevan’s underground, Kay has been prolific in a wide range of underground genres — from raw punk-rock and metal to futuristic deconstruction of club music.
Vera Vishnevaya aka furrr is an experimental musician, filmmaker, media and sound artist, curator, and a video stream host at s0r. In her solo musical output and dj-selections, Vera combines dense soundscaping with offbeat rhythms. As an artist, her work deals with collective memory and trauma, taking the form of minimalistic yet elaborate sound installations. Lately, Vera’s been actively researching local underground scenes, putting out impressive line-ups for events and festivals, as well as showcasing the talents via the video platform s0r.
When working together, Vera and Kay deliver intuitive original performances using both acoustic and electronic instruments, showcasing their atmosphere- and rhythm-building skills. Always mindful of the space and occasion, the duo’s set can change from a deep drone session to a barrage of experimental bangers — and everything in between.
HolyPalms is a project of guitarist and drummer Pavel Eremeev, known for the bands Jesss (with Rasel Rakhman) and Usssy (with Artem Galkin). Pavel is inspired by the ornate sound structures of Central Asian and Middle Eastern maqoms, Afghan and Indian ragas. Few years earlier he emphasized guitar melody and monotonous percussion, but now the sound of the project has come to deconstruction: the guitar wave faded into the background, giving way to sophisticated bass electronics with an impressive number of microscopic sound elements, scattering through the rhythmic structure.
Dodola is the singer-songwriter art-pop project of Katie Woznicki, Cleveland-born outsider multi-disciplinary artist who has been living and working in Belgrade since 2007. The songs are emotional, catchy, and often melancholic, with warm analog synths and her unique voice.
In Živa she will perform an analog set, with some synths and some machines.
