Podcast appearances and mentions of nika danilova

This week, we are welcoming guest Nika Danilova, the musician, artist, and magic practitioner otherwise known as Zola Jesus, onto the podcast. Throughout the course of this interview, Nika and I explore the cathartic process of ritual expression which extends itself synonymously through art, music, and magic. Due to our shared political standing and love of Adorno, we also find space to weave in conversations on the importance of such an expression to combat the ill effects of a Capitalist culture which seeks only to consume. How might one use art as an antidote to a commodified world? What does it mean to be a Missionary for Nature? How does community storytelling re-enliven our engagement with the various ecologies of the world? What is there to gain through relinquishing control? All this and more, on today's episode of SaturnVox. To find out more on Nika, check out her bandcamp here, where you can listen to her albums as Zola Jesus and also purchase merch.

Nika Danilova began recording under the moniker Zola Jesus while attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She drew textures from industrial music and harsh noise (alongside operatic vocals) to create a sound that shaped the cultural moment. It also helped define the popular indie label Sacred Bones. This year brings her sixth full-length album Arkhon. This conversation was previously recorded in June. Intro music from Ted Byrnes' Words Have Two Meanings (Foul Prey). Outro music - Lost (Sacred Bones).

Keith sits down with Nika Danilova to discuss growing up in Wisconsin, the early days of Zola Jesus, Nika's establishment as an artist, life on the road, her creative process, overcoming anxiety, the benefits of living in the woods, her upcoming LP "Arkhon", traveling to Turkey to shoot the video for "Lost" and more.

In this preview, Nika Danilova aka Zola Jesus joins Dan and Riley to talk about live music, experimenting with alternative forms of ownership, and why "content creation" and "artist" are concepts that *really* don't go together if you're actually doing the work.

We are all coming to terms with the new reality of a world dominated by COVID-19, only one aspect of which is the temporary shutdown of live music. With concerts and festivals being canceled or postponed, fans and artists alike are facing a whole new world, a new way of supporting the musicians we love, and a new way of making a living. To gain insight into this new reality, I put in a call to Zola Jesus. The intuitive and caring indie artist also known as Nika Danilova shares her experience as an artist suddenly unable to tour, the impact that change has on her livelihood, new outlets that can help temporarily replace the feeling we get from live music, and how fans can best make a difference for artists. Be sure to follow along with us on social media as we share curated playlists, highlight organizations that are making a difference for artists, update exciting live streamed concerts, and so much more. Remember, we're all in this together, even if we're six feet apart. We hope everyone is staying safe and practicing social distancing during this global pandemic.

This week, we welcome to the show, producer singer songwriter, Nika Danilova, aka Zola Jesus. Nika has released five albums over the last decade or so and in 2017 moved back onto family land in Wisconsin and built a cabin in the woods. She also played Dark Mofo down here in Tasmania last year so we have some overlaps or similarities that led to a really fruitful discussion about creativity and place in a post-materialist context. We also talk cities as habitats, structured and unstructured creation, and the role of visual presentation. Excellent stuff! Show Notes Nika's website, zolajesus.com. Zola Jesus on Twitter.

For over a decade, Zola Jesus - aka Nika Danilova, has been releasing deeply engrossing music that draws on a wide range of musical traditions, from goth to industrial to electronic...and even classical.For this episode of Sound & Space, Zola Jesus takes us on a private tour of her rural Wisconsin studio and chats with Pitchfork Radio host Elia Einhorn about how nature influences her songwriting process and the never-ending process of creative reinvention.

Nika Danilova -- who just released her fifth album as Zola Jesus -- comes by the New York office for a deep talk about creation, inspiration, and preservation. 'Okovi' is one of this year's standout indie/electronic/experimental albums, and we cut to the core of how nature and returning home to rural Wisconsin helped create it. That is to say, we talk about hanging out in the woods a lot.
