Daria Morgacheva / Dora

Electronic music / sound art / improvisation
is a Toronto-based electronic musician and sound artist.
Garden of Magic is her breakbeat-driven sonic world, where bass music, techno, jazz, ambient, and improvisational piano converge.
In her live sets and sound work, Dora seeks to tune into subtle matter — the invisible underside of the universe — and bring it to the surface, guided by the energy of the dancefloor or the listening space.
She is one of the minds behind Borscht Radio (with Ilyse Krivel / Xicada), curates events, and performs with bikebike, a live trio.
Drawing from her background in physics and biology, she often returns to questions of nature and technology, posthuman bodies, and altered states.
She welcomes collaborations across disciplines — sonic, visual, theoretical, or embodied.
The flute goes hard, the bass sizzles, jungle breaks are slowed down, chopped and twisted. Extremely low frequency fields.
"The artist name adopted by Toronto’s Daria Morgacheva couldn’t be more apt. Her tracks all feel like otherworldly living environments that you enter, walk around, smell the flowers. This single five-minute gem is case in point: It has a zippy techno kick that guides you through a jazzy, dreamy, post-rock type environment, entering distinct areas with their own design and sensory profiles as you go." - Joe Muggs
