The Lazy Jesus, a sound producer from Ukraine, presents his roots project UA TRIBAL in collaboration with visual artist Magistr Of Magic.In this project, the artist explores the richness of ethnic music, reinterpreting it in a fresh, modern form. The project blends percussion and Ukrainian folk elements, creating hypnotic dance tracks that transport listeners into a trance-like state.
A key part of the UA TRIBAL show is its animated visuals, which allow the audience to fully immerse themselves in the experience. For the project, Kyiv-based illustrator Yevheniia Vinokurova (Magister Of Magic) created each visual pattern by hand, incorporating Ukrainian symbols and researching ornaments from various regions of the country. However, this is not just a pre-recorded video sequence running from start to finish—it is a live visual performance. Each pattern is processed in real time by Yevheniia using various effects, generating new graphic designs and ornaments throughout the show.
The UA TRIBAL audiovisual project was first presented in 2022 on the big screen at Dovzhenko Film Studio. Over the following years, it has been showcased at numerous European venues and festivals in Germany, France, Czech Republic, Belgium, Poland, UK, Spain, Slovakia.
