Vedana is an ancient Ukrainian woman name.
Vedana is the pure sensation without emotions.
Vedana perceives the world through intuitive insight.
Vedana flows, melts, drips, crashes.
Vedana Knows.
Dive.
This is second volume from series of albums dedicated to
Purification by Four Elements: Water.
The music is composed by Kateryna Zavoloka, transmitting different states of water and how they can be specifically translated to the sound. Low frequencies as a depth, traditional vocal as surface of sonic water. This album is a result of 2-years research, including work at Electroacoustic Music Studio at Academy of Music in Cracow and concerts-performances in collaboration with live generative interactive visuals from Laetitia Morais.
It is exploration of Water Element. It is inspired by knowledge about Ukrainian Cossacks-Magicians, so-called Kharakternyky, that could control forces of nature, particularly water. They used to drink spring water to purify their energy and to became undistinguished
and fluid as water. To reach inner melting.

Zyprex is a medicine, also considered a drug, that is used to control schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
We associate the effects of Zyprex with constant dualism and translation of the human with software and hi-tech machines. Now humans have to be careful about the fact that we totally depend on machines, billions of files saved in servers, ultra hard drives, where we put all our life, social networks where we put all our information. The question is - what are we, humans or machines? Most people spend 6/8 or 10 hours in front of social networks, chatting with friends, sharing pictures and so on. No one can say that this is bad, but we are going to lose all real life connections, the sensations of life. The fact that no one, mostly if you met recently, says... “i care about you”...
This is the fear that we have because there's no computer screen between real persons, but we put something more than a simple screen. An imaginary wall built of rock, circuits, meta rejected and quantum distances. We're now very close, but at the same time too far away.
We slowly start to translate this aspect on Zyprex 500.
Xenos begins with the organic parts of the human, and the saxophone is it's voice. Evolving. The music arrives to a breakpoint where the machines begin to communicate with the human psyche, in a specific way.
In Metrexes human and machines, grown together, involved in a speech composed by questions and answers, where both of them are right and wrong at the same t...

Since her last released album "Viter" in 2007, Zavoloka took a long silence break and went into studio work and collaborations with visual artists. A lot of new material was written, and first part of latest tracks is presented in this EP. Here Zavoloka has changed her direction in sound again and went far from her previous works. "Svitlo" comes with heavy and raw bass lines combined with constantly breaking rythms and unexpected turns in track's structures. This mixture creates weird dusky and immerse atmosphere, something absolutely new, quite far from any other Zavoloka's works released yet.
Svitlo means Light in Ukrainian.

It is some foreshortening of perception wich can look like a specification of main named layers that can be used to create an algorithmic composition. Sequense of sounds can make a structure. Whole structure can be analized. If sequence is transformed in time, analizing can find main active layers of transformations.
