With body.404, Darynka explores digital identity and bodily emotions in a connected world
Darynka is a Ukrainian-born experimental electronic music producer and visual artist currently based between San Francisco, Dubai, and Bangkok. Formerly an art curator with a strong background in visual storytelling, she now expresses herself through sound, blending conceptual art and digital culture to explore themes of identity and emotion.
Music as Emotion and Digital Architecture
Darynka’s sonic universe lies at the crossroads of experimental electronic music, characterised by sculptural, emotionally raw, and constantly evolving elements. Her tracks are influenced by deconstructed club music, cinematic layering, and a hyper-personal vocal presence. She skillfully combines broken beats, processed textures, and atmospheric pads to create immersive soundscapes.
Each composition unfolds like an emotional architecture, where musical form dissolves in favour of tension, ambiance, and sensory depth. Through this intentional instability, Darynka invites the listener into a fragmented self — delicate, yet deeply felt.
body.404: An EP on the Digital Disintegration of the Body
Her upcoming EP, body.404, offers a sonic and conceptual reflection on the transformation of the body in a hyper-digital world. The project explores a fractured self navigating intimacy without touch, identity without stability, and desire without shape.
The body becomes many things: uploaded, extended, real, and sensual. Through this digital metamorphosis, Darynka questions how we relate to presence, desire, and the body itself in an age of virtualisation.
A Constantly Moving Artist Reflecting a Fluid World
Constantly in motion across continents, Darynka embodies the contemporary artist whose work reflects the shifting nature of modern identity. Her approach merges sound design, personal vulnerability, and conceptual depth, crafting a unique and hybrid artistic voice.
