Daria Redkina is a Ukrainian sound artist based in Berlin.
With practice in collective improvisation and site specific performance, her research work looks into perceptual phenomena of sound in space and listening within complex acoustic environments. She adapts her work to space and its unique architectural dimensions. Her recent practice is based around the performative physicality of sound in the context of theatre and choreography productions, working on the intersection of sound design, sculpture and interactive media.
She has performed , recorded and released music as solo and in collaboration with other artists – as one half of electronic folk duet Cotenius X and founder/leading member of a music collective Augmented Aural.
Since 2016 she has explored electroacoustic sound as a fictional character named Zoya Zerkalski using accordion and electronics as her instruments. She deconstructed the accordion into singular reed organs and continues to develop this wind instrument , adapting it for various projects.
She is also a curator and producer of music label ‘POKLYK’, co-curator and technical assistant at audiovisual gallery Frei-raum.Berlin. and artistic director of event series ‘Do You Be’ in Berlin venue Sameheads.
