The Songs of Odysseus
An electroacoustic performance by Alla Zagaykevych for bells and electronics, featuring Heorhiy Chernenko
“The Songs of Odysseus”, an electroacoustic performance by Alla Zagaykevych for bells and electronics, is the culmination of her artistic explorations in 2024–2025, dedicated to the figure of Odysseus — a warrior, a wanderer, a man of choice. It tells the story of his travels, his sensations, his path. The project is inspired by Volodymyr Yermolenko’s novel Ocean Catcher (2017).
Ukrainian premiere.
This is a very strange singing.
A song in the attempt to remember long-forgotten melodies.
Perhaps Penelope once sang like this?
Or did he hear them from the Sirens?
Songs on the seashore… or songs to the sea?
Performers:
Alla Zagaykevych – electronics
Heorhiy Chernenko – bells
