Khrystyna Kirik’s immersive work within improvisation, electronics, voice, double bass, piano, field recordings and found sonic objects is shaped by a »beginner’s mind«: a willingness to strip expectation away and attune to the frequency of that which is oft-ignored. Trained in jazz and free-improvisation, her performances, theatre and compositional works find and create instances where the mundane might resonate. She works with sound as a physical and relational experience, exploring how we feel it through the body and how we experience it collectively.

Alongside this, she develops workshops and residencies that invite others to enter into the same spirit of exploration, bridging music, performance and everyday environments to create spaces for deep listening and shared experiences. Her work has appeared at festivals and venues including Conflux (Rotterdam), Sonica x Construction x SHAPE+ (Glasgow), UH Fest (Budapest), Skanu Mežs (Riga), CXEMA (Kyiv), Miasma of the Real (Kyiv), Brave! Factory (Kyiv), Dim Zvuku (Lviv), 90mil (Berlin), Mutant Radio (Tbilisi), ∄ (Kyiv). She has participated in residencies at Dampfzentrale (Bern 2025), OUT.RA (Portugal 2025), Bastl Instruments (Brno 2024), Echoes of the Earth (Kyiv 2024) and Styria-Artist-in-Residence (Graz 2023).
