A new track by Kyiv-based electronic musician human margareeta ‘Kryshtal’ has been released on the Iriy Records label. It is the first single from the artist’s upcoming album and is accompanied by her debut music video, dedicated, like the track, to the themes of fragile and toxic relationships, vulnerability and aggression.
According to the artist, ‘Kryshtal’ encompasses the whole emotional spectrum she experiences in toxic romantic relationships and is full of ‘emotional tension, despair and angst, and at the same time tenderness and attempts to love in the most volatile circumstances’.
Thematically, the track is divided into three parts, each reflecting a different emotional state and stage of relationship breakdown.
The first one is a ‘cold recitative of hot emotions’, it is ‘about passion and intensity’. The second one symbolizes realization, and the musical part of the composition includes a jazz improvisation by pianist Rena Senses. The third stage is the chapter in which ‘there is no hope left’, it is complemented by the sounds of saxophone by Andrii Barmalii, who in turn ‘marvels at the agonizing, desperate and frank cry of human margareeta in a deafening quarrel’.
‘‘Kryshtal’ is a trip to a therapist. It’s an aggressive meditation where you can’t moderate the flow of negativity. It’s about everything that has boiled up. It’s about anger at the lack of peace, the inaccessibility of another person and the unsuccessful search for harmony in the midst of internal and external chaos’, the release description reads.
The music video for ‘Kryshtal’ was directed by Reveka R, a Dnipro-based independent filmmaker.
She explains the idea behind the video work as follows: ‘The space beneath the skull is really quiet and empty, and it is an enclosed space without any markings. The white studio is the embodiment of this space of the brain and mind, where she is her intrusive voice and creates noise. All further events that unfold are a delving into a process that has already begun — a destructive and healing confession’.
