An album ‘na vitru’ by Kremenchuk musician and artist orfin was released via the Liky Pid Nohamy label owned by Odesa electronic musician Polje. The release includes 13 tracks combining recordings with playing acoustic and electronic instruments.
According to orfin, ‘the basis of the recording was a secluded life in a small house near the forest in the summer, where I found an inner piece from the stormy wind of events’.
In addition to acoustics and electronic instruments, the musician utilized environmental sounds, combining them into compositions using cassettes.
‘In most cases, rhythm and compositional structure have no clear boundaries — it’s a free game, which intrigued me with its unpredictability. Sounds that are sketches of memories and states, the vividness of which will fade when converted to text. Sometimes music can show certain ideas expressed in verbal form, and sometimes it can be a language in itself. This is the second case’, Danya (real name is orfin. — Note from DTF Magazine) says.
Besides Danya, Oleksandr Liashenko, who played gusli on the track murava, took part in the recording.
You can listen to and purchase ‘na vitru’ on Bandcamp. According to the label, Liky Pid Nohamy will transfer 100% of the profits to Ukrainian volunteer organizations.
