This album is a continuation of the "natural elements" cycle by Kateryna Zavoloka launched with the work
"Viter" (Wind), which was dedicated to the atmospheric air. Well, and "Vedana" – this is already a dedication to water. It is quite logical to assume that the work will be performed in some, say, smooth-noise aesthetics – however, dozens of other assumptions would be logical as well. And what we have – a kind of idm on the verge of electro-rock, against the background of vast layers of sonic fog, with delicate green shoots of tasty "petty sounds", which sometimes turn into true lush thickets of this, that and every other electronic music-playing. After all, water is a very plastic, magical, universal thing. Whatever it is – steam, ice or liquid – it is always remains itself... The same is true regarding Zavoloka's music, which – and in the new album even more than before – tends to certain universality. The more, the easier it incorporates elements of various styles – absorbs, dissolves, combines, converts – and thus remains surprisingly recognizable, does not betray its native riverbed. But – it becomes lighter, more transparent, gentle... It seems that is paces now barely touching the ground. Still, perhaps it should be so with living water...
