On her newest release Yangola she is exploring the traditional themes of ancient Ukrainian folklore, blending various tales with electronic textures and vocal loops, producing a sound that is truly timeless.
Hanna’s ethereal vocals and atmospheric sounds make a dreamlike soundscape that transports listeners to a mystical world of ancient legends. It features songs such as “Chornyi Zvir” which can be translated as The Black Beast and the name of the EP Yangola (derived from the Ukrainian word for angel) stands for an imagined musical genre, like a lullaby, legend, or ballad.
Overall, the release is a stunning example of how electronic music can be used to explore folklore and mythology. Hanna’s unique approach to blending traditional elements with modern production techniques creates an impressive and otherworldly listening experience.
