(a.k.a Kateryna Zavoloka) is an experimental music composer, sound artist and graphic designer from Kyiv city, Ukraine. Word "zavoloka" means "fog" and "maverick" in Ukrainian language. Zavoloka's music experiments consists of intensive varied sound motions and unexpected combinations piped into carefully controlled electronic flows. Never try to predict anything, it can turn out in what one just cannot predict. When asked about the motive of building such a diverse and complicated constructions, she explained her intention to produce more and more frank music that could reflect her momentary shades of feelings and emotions. She also pointed out that her music is intended to be a natural expression of her private freedom.
In June 2007, in 280 Wire magazine there was an article about Zavoloka.
Zavoloka explores digital and analogue synthesis, uses recorded herself songs, separate phrases, instruments, etc. One of her big influences is the traditional Ukrainian culture. She traveling by Ukraine and recording native traditional songs, which singing common people in country-sides of Ukraine. The aim is to reach interplay between the electronic context and rough unprocessed voices that common people sing with. This produces a very "'human'" outcome (owing to the spirit that unaffected voices bring), yet staying electronically saturated.
In 2005 Zavoloka's "Plavyna" CD was highly acclaimed and took a Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica.

Hello, I have a new album released on netlabel montgorecords.com I´d say its genre is electronica, electro, idm, experimental. I like to experiment with rythm programmings, melodies and structures. I like voices so I sample them a lot. There are also in this album samples from the residents, can, and miles davis though they are not too obvious. I love zavoloka music though mine is very different. Ah! and it is for free. Thank you
date :: 22 Nov 2008 opening :: 10pm place :: Festspielhaus Hellerau, Dresden, Germany
The classical borders between VeeJay, musician and public belong to the past. Nowadays an integral software engineering forms the interface between auditory and visual area for a synesthetic experience of a special art. It is valid, for the strengthened body purchase and a participatory need at the organization of the music to satisfy interaction between public and musician. In the sense of a network controllable effect parameters of the music are offered. Visual outlines, shade and graphic meeting places form the play meadow of the dancers on the dance floor. EyeCon and Kalypso will be in maximum form. Are it also and a quasi›sensitive area‹ will accompany you by the evening, completely automatique…
En réalgar, en arsenic rocher, En orpiment, en salpêtre et chaux vive, (= sulfure d'arsenic) En plomb bouillant pour mieux les émorcher, En suif et poix détrempés de lessive Faite d’étrons et de pissat de juive, (le moyen-âge méprisait les juifs !) En lavage de jambes à meseaux, En raclures de pieds et vieils houseaux, (= vieilles bottes) En sang d’aspic et drogues venimeuses, En fiel de loups, de renards et blaireaux, Soient frites ces langues envieuses ! (= mauvaises langues)
En cervelle de chat qui hait pêcher, Noir, et si vieil qu’il n’ait dent en gencive, D’un vieux mâtin, qui vaut bien aussi cher, (mâtin = chien) Tout enragé, en sa bave et salive, En l’écume d’une mule poussive Détranchée menue à bons ciseaux, En eau où rats plongent groins et museaux, Raines, crapauds et bêtes dangereuses, (Raines = grenouilles) Serpents, lézards et tels nobles oiseaux, Soient frites ces langues envieuses !
En sublimé, dangereux à toucher, Et au nombril d’une couleuvre vive, En sang qu’on voit aux palettes sécher (= écuelles recevant le sang) Sur ces barbiers, quand pleine lune arrive, Dont l’un est noir, l’autre plus vert que cive, (cive = fines herbes) En chanvre et fiz, et en ces ords cuveaux (= crasseux sceaux / fiz =chancre anal vénérien) Où nourrices essangent leurs drapeaux, (= essorent leurs langes) En petits bains de filles amoureuses (Qui ne m’entend n’a suivi les bordeaux) (= pluriel de bordel !) Soient frites ces langues envieuses !
Princes, passez tous ces friands morceaux, S’étamine, sac n’avez ou bluteaux, (= filtre / bluteaux = tamis) Parmi le fond d’une braye brenneuse ; (au travers de culottes merdeuses) Mais, par avant, en étrons de pourceaux Soient frites ces langues envieuses !
