Valeria Radchenko is a multidisciplinary artist, music producer and facilitator. Working across sound, performance, video, ritual and creative coding, they play with the fusing of genres and mediums, weaving personal narratives with speculative fiction to dream new worlds. Exploring sound as a form of touch, they are particularly interested in the emotional potential of electronic music - how we can work with technology to express what is human. In 2019, Valeria graduated from Goldsmiths with an MA in Computational Arts. Their final master’s piece was an immersive audio-visual performance entitled XIDALIA. The piece explored a post-apocalyptic narrative through multi-screen projection and experimental electronic music, guiding audience members through a portal to a glitchy, transformed world. The performance included coded animations, 360 video, live-coded sound and live vocals. Valeria has since worked as a composer for performances and films, released music independently, and has hosted experimental art/music events with creative computing collective, in-grid. Valeria has performed across London venues such as Corsica, Avalon Cafe and The Glove That Fits. Their sonic practice is shared through public workshops, ranging from music production to collective singing, in art spaces, parties, festivals and in educational contexts. In 2023, Valeria was awarded a grant from Help Musicians to release their debut album, VISIONS, in spring 2024.
