About Oleg Ivanov
In 2017, Oleg spent seventeen months living in a remote Carpathian village where the last three women who knew the full cycle of Hutsul spring lament-songs, ritual chants tied to soil fertility and ancestral memory, were over eighty-five years old. He didn’t just record them; he learned to weave rush baskets while singing with them, transcribed microtonal pitch shifts using custom spectral notation, and co-designed a loom-integrated audio interface that translates warp-and-weft patterns into modal drones. His 2023 fieldwork in Belarus uncovered a suppressed 19th-century manuscript linking wedding laments to pre-Christian solar calendars, now the basis for a touring ensemble that performs using reconstructed birch-bark horns and hand-forged iron clappers. Oleg doesn’t treat folk music as artifact; he treats it as living syntax, something you speak, stitch, and walk with.
