#chikiss

Minimalist lines, resembling more a mysterious counting rhyme than a poem. It is As if groping through a viscous, blurred landscape of inaction, procrastination, and fears towards a cherished goal. Everyone has their own. And what doesn’t work out means it simply doesn’t work out. But what is meant to happen always happens.

My Other Voice

LISTEN

This mix explores vocals that blur the lines between human and machine through their use of vocoder, phasing and similar techniques.

Glad to announce the premier of my new album after long break.

"The enigmatic and expressive Galina Ozeran aka Chikiss breaks a three-year silence with Between Time and Laziness, a brand-new LP of dramatic and dreamlike synthpop perfectly suited to Hamburg's unfaltering Bureau B. Written in St. Petersburg, Berlin, and Athens, and co-produced by Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jaakko Eino Kalevi, the album renders the existential, psychological, and philosophical in song form. Exploring motivation and self-doubt, the long shadow of the Soviet Union, and collective empathy with a cinematic air, Chikiss weighs darkness and light, landing on the side of hope in her most considered and polished vocal album to date."

Bureau B, 2024
