...a return to sources and a scratch dance of immortality. A bright whisper from the future, and a muffled scream from inside the power plant.

"It’s all both otherworldly and intimately familiar like the soundtrack to an industrial part of town at night with mysterious activity going on around you unseen but heard and felt." -Queen City Sounds and Art

"Vessels to Motherland convey psychedelic pictures and dreams of distant utopias that ripple across the multiverse, as machines learn, become human, and whisper into evermore." -Electronic Groove

"Vessels to Motherland tap into a similar creative and sonic space as Art of Noise did in the 80's with a pure blend of archaic, textural sounds and modern electronic and avant-garde aesthetics." -Queen City Sounds and Art

Both a live act and award-winning film composer, NYC-based electroacoustic duo Vessels to Motherland are known for their unique, easily recognizable sound. Virtuoso performers on the piano, synths and violin, they consistently push the boundaries of expression by using unorthodox techniques inspired by the likes of John Cage and Trent Reznor. Bridging the ancient with the new, they create a music of its own breed, steering between heavy industrial and evocative ambient, navigating through seas of psychedelia, journeying with humans and robots alike.

Living between chaos and order, the sound of Vessels to Motherland exists in the in-between, the interzones of human experience, at the junction of methods.

Vessels to Motherland consists of composer/producer/pianist Danica Borisavljevic, and composer/producer/violinist Nikita Yermak, based in NYC.

The union of the two classically-trained musicians coincided with a mutual calling for electronic music, psychedelic soundscapes, and otherworldly sound treatments. With decades of concert hall performances behind them, Borisavljevic and Yermak have synthesized a new chapter, a reminiscence from the future, with sails reaching to Roedelius’ piano tones, chains tied to Nine Inch Nails’ raw distortion, anchors extending to Murail’s spectralism...
