Auguststraße 69 10117 BerlinKatarina Gryvul is a Ukrainian born composer, sound artist, music producer, violinist and educator.
Composer, violinist, music producer and founder of Gryvul School, Katarina Gryvul (* 1993, Lviv) presents SPOMYN (Recollection), a live performance exploring memory’s fragile, fractured nature. Combining her classical background with electronic and avant-garde techniques, Gryvul works across voice, instruments, and analog synthesis using spatial sound to create immersive listening experiences.
SPOMYN unfolds through a series of sonic fragments shaped by distortion, loss, and transformation. Drawing on choral elements, Gryvul’s compositions are reworked into corrupted, unstable forms, layered with dense low frequencies and shifting textures. The performance engages with personal and collective experiences of memory, shaped by histories of repression, silence, and intergenerational transmission. Through sound, Gryvul reflects on how memory is both an archive and a process of reconstruction, continuously breaking apart and reforming, shaping identity while resisting erasure.
