OPEN CALL "SOUND MEMORY – AUDIOBIOME"Open Call Finalists – Authors of Electroacoustic Works
At Bouquet Kyiv Stage 2026, the festival will present the world premiere of three electroacoustic works created by the finalists of the "Memory of Sound" open call.
Discussions about preserving memory rarely focus on sound. Yet the sonic imprint of a place can be one of the most powerful elements shaping the emotional texture of our memories. Through listening, we reconnect with landscapes, histories, and experiences that might otherwise fade.
Join us to discover new voices in Ukrainian electroacoustic music and witness the birth of works in which sound becomes memory, and memory becomes art.
Performers:Tetiana Khoroshun — composer, sound artist, and performerOleksii Zamotailo (Pøgulyay) — electronic musician, sound designer, and live artistAndrii Barsov — Ukrainian composer
Tetiana Khoroshun is a Ukrainian composer, sound artist, and performer. Her artistic practice explores the interplay of sound, memory, landscape, and technology through electroacoustic music, performance, installation, and interdisciplinary practices. Working with field recordings, voice, spatial sound, and documentary materials, she creates artistic situations in which listening becomes a way of reflecting on place, time, and experience. Tetiana’s homeland, Crimea, remains an important point of reference in her work. Her projects engage with themes of landscape, displacement, translation between different forms, and the political dimensions of listening. Her works have been performed and presented in Ukraine, France, Germany, Austria, Canada, Argentina, and other countries around the world.
Oleksii Zamotailo (Pogulyay) is a Ukrainian electronic musician, sound designer, and live artist. Working at the intersection of ambient music and noise, he combines analog synthesizers, field recordings, feedback systems, and live improvisation to explore sound texture, spatiality, and psychoacoustic phenomena. His practice encompasses both concert performances and interdisciplinary projects, including theatre, sound installations, and multimedia performances.
Andrii Barsov is a Ukrainian composer. In 2009, he graduated from the Chernivtsi College of Arts as a pianist. In 2023, he graduated in composition from the Borys Liatoshynsky National Academy of Music of Ukraine, where he studied with Hanna Havrylets and Alla Zagaykevych. He is the author of chamber, orchestral, piano, and electronic works. His music has been presented at festivals including EM-visia, Poznań Musical Spring, Contrasts, Bouquet Kyiv Stage, Kyiv Music Fest, Kyiv Musical Premieres, and others.
The competition was initiated by the Zakarpattia Cultural Platform NGO. This year's jury included Alla Zahaikevych, Ostap Manuliak, Eduard Solomykin (Edward Sol), and Heorhii Potopalskyi (Ujif Notfound).
