✨ OUT NOW: Valentina Goncharova - Campanelli ✨
On March 14th, we proudly released a new album from Kyiv-born, Tallinn-based composer Valentina Goncharova on Hidden Harmony Recordings.
This marks her first original record in over 30 years, a monumental return that highlights her unique sonic world - where classical precision blends in with avant-garde experimentation.
The album is now available on all major digital streaming platforms, and we are offering a limited edition numbered LP. Don’t miss the chance to own this rare and exceptional release!
🎻 Valentina Goncharova’s work is a mesmerizing blend of tradition and innovation. A highly skilled violinist, composer, and sonic explorer, she masterfully intertwines her instrument with synthesizers, drum machines, and layered drones, crafting an immersive listening experience. The result is a slow-burning, pulsating journey through deep and hypnotic soundscapes, where classical training dissolves into the boundless world of experimental music.
Throughout her career, Valentina has defied categorization. She has been:
A classically trained violinist,
shaped by her rigorous education at the Kyiv Conservatory and the Leningrad Conservatory (now St. Petersburg), where she studied under the guidance of masters like M. Vayman and B. Gutnikov.
A fearless improviser,
drawn to the energy of free jazz and the radical creativity of Soviet-era experimental rock scenes.
A home-recording pioneer,
embracing new-age and avant-garde techniques to create deeply personal and transcendent compositions.
An underground collaborator,
performing in the vibrant rock clubs of Leningrad alongside future members of the legendary industrial collective Pop-Mechanika (Popular Mechanics).
