About

Daria Redkina (aka Zoya Zerkalski) 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, complex acoustic environments and characteristics of microtonal sonic structures. 

Zoya’s practice as a performer initiated with the use of accordion and electronics as her instruments. She then redeveloped the accordion into singular reed organs.  This self developed wind instrument is currently the musical object in focus of her electroacoustic performances.  

One half of electronic folk duet Cotenius X and founder/leading member of a music collective Augmented Aural.

Curator and producer of music label ‘POKLYK’.

Artistic director of event series ‘Do You Be’ in Berlin venue Sameheads.
