artist statement

Through my music, I aim to challenge human emotions and foster connection.
I identify myself as a gender fluid artist whose creations transcend boundaries. With a passion for experimentation and my background in classical and jazz guitar, I blend genres to craft soundscapes that defy categorization. Alongside my musical works, I explore the visual field, infusing my unique perspective into collaborative projects.
I am dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices, celebrating diversity, and creating spaces where authenticity thrives. Join me on a journey of sonic exploration and self-discovery.

for movie

‘ADA’

Documentary about the love and courage of two great Ukrainian artists Ada Rybachuk and Volodymyr Melnichenko.

Director Alina Matochkina

ADA by Alina Matochkina from Ukrainian Film Festival Berlin on Vimeo.

“This piece attests to the stringent continuation of Gael Abakarova's body of work.

Its exquisitely crafted equilibrium of opposites maintain an organic integrity of translucency with apparent structural elements. Its vibrant tonality is counterbalanced by a rigorous but subdued rationality. As in many of her compositions, one feels a fusion of electronica and noise, an experiment with the real and the visionary. As support, Nastya Vogan and 2550 deliver alternative interpretations of Gael's creations to complete the sonic journey.”

EXPERI

MENTAL

WORKS

“Sees is the first e.p by shemoveshe and at the end of the listening you will think that it is a intriguing electronic production. The sounds obtained can bring you back to a middle age that would have virtually transcended time until today, redefined to infinity. Or again, the idea of an introspective reverie is very present too, a powerful sounding meditative form. Shemovesshe succeeded with surprising evidence an escapism of sorts, a connection to our sub conscious rather than a cognitive and preset process. Pictures appear and like aurora borealis always mooving creating a sound shape shifting non descriptive mass! Shemovesshe with Sees create a definitely attractive music with an intense, detailed, passsionate and focused energy.”
