"Charly Is a Cat"”
Andrii Barsov

“Unidentified cries, contrasting timbres, fragmented musical material in the instrumental ensemble, overloaded electronics, and an ending that dissolved somewhere on the verge of ultrasound — all of this indeed created an impression of horror, but of a kind that one observes from a certain distance and with purely childlike curiosity: what happens next? In this sonic theatre, Olga Atamanchuk’s bandura played the role of the ‘joker’, with its unconventional sound production techniques becoming a key element in creating an atmosphere of unreality.”
Polina Kordovska, music critic

The score was published with the support of Yaroslav Volkovetskyi.
