Hanakiv
Estonian composer and musician Hanakiv is Gondwana Records’ latest addition, and she is blending classical with electronic music.

Based in London now, Hanakiv is both a sound artist and a pianist who released her incredible debut album, Goodbye.

Music plays a significant role in her Estonian culture. Coming from a musical family, it is only natural that Hanakiv takes on this path to sculpt something uniquely hers for the world to hear, especially after moving to London, where she could express herself freely.

The young composer and musician draw musical influences for her brand of meditative piano-based ambient music with classical and dark electronic undertones from artistes like Tim Hecker, Björk, Kara-Lis Coverdale, Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür and Aphex Twin, and her cultural heritage too. For sure, Hanakiv is a melting pot of unconventional tunes that will fill your soundscapes.
