Electronic music / sound art / improvisation

Torontonian Daria Morgacheva makes experimental music in the most literal sense: Not abstract or breaking convention just for the sake of it, but in a way where you can tell that she’s delicately, methodically testing out new ground with whatever she does. It can make pinning down her styles tricky, but it’s absolutely worth going along with her on these 12 tracks as she explores a wide range of rhythms and moods. Sometimes it’ll touch on something you’d recognize as rave, field recording, electro, grime, or what have you; but just as often you’ll find yourself in unexplored emotional and intellectual space. And throughout, her commitment to the process makes all of it fascinating.

Dorraa is the experimental electronic project of Toronto-based sound artist and keyboardist Daria Dora Morgacheva. Classically trained on piano, Dorraa moves fluidly across genres, grounded in jazz and funk with a deep love for swing and syncopation. Her work blends club forms, textured atmospheres, and rhythmic exploration, often shifting between recognizable structures and more unfamiliar emotional and perceptual territories.

With a foundation in STEM and early experience working in a scientific lab, she brings an experimental mindset to music-making — not breaking convention for its own sake, but methodically testing new ground through sound. 

Past performances include MUTEK 2025, where she presented experimental electronic work, remixing tracks from her album Sensations in real time using live keys and hardware improvisation.

The moniker Dorraa embraces her first given name and adds RA as a homage to Sun Ra whose spiritual, improvisational approach and vision of music as a portal to higher spaces remains a key influence.

She is one of the minds behind Borscht Radio (with Ilyse Krivel / Xicada), curates events, and performs with bikebike, a live trio, alongside with Corey Cosman and Stefan Hegerat. bikebike will perform at Wavelength festival in March, 2026.
