Station narva 2023, narva, estonia, september 7-10, 2023,.

The serotinal edition of Station Narva celebrates music, Indian summer and generosity.

On Friday afternoon the train heading from Estonian capital Tallinn to Narva is chock-a-block. The fact that it runs twice a day doesn’t fully explain the sold-out state: 85% of the passengers get off at the final stop where a two-day music and arts event is about to begin.

Once in Narva, the quirky sense of liminality prevails. It’s not only the view from the central square Peetri plats to the iron gate of the Estonian-Russian border that sets this train of thought. The openness and, sometimes, eccentricity of the locals eliminate the boundary between sobering reality and a dreamy realm that conjures up the mystical scenery of Tarkovsky’s films. In the late evening, the opposite bank of the Narva River marking the borderline between the two states is coated in mist barely showing outlines of fishermen and trees. Still, the stretch of land is only about 100 metres away.

One pegging Narva often deals with comical situations. In a local cafe, a young man, allegedly an owner of the place, pays for a customer’s meal hoping they will vote for him during the next municipal election. After finding out they are just visiting, he still shows a cheerful disposition saying “Well, just wish me luck or mention my name in your prayers then”. While on a bus for festival goers, everyone hears a tipsy Narva resident reciting verses by Russian lyric poet Sergei Yesenin.

Although it is imbued with and defined by Russian spirit and culture, the place craves international attention. Everything foreign triggers curiosity and grabs the attention of the locals. International visitors respond with affection as Narva gradually transforms from a hidden gem to an arts and culture hub. Earlier this year art space Narva Arts Residency got funding from the British Council to run the Narva Venice Embassy, a project reimagining the purpose of local boat garages transforming them into art workshops. Tours around Narva Venice (a system of canals and boathouses) are organised during the festival.

Despite attracting visitors from afar, boutique Station Narva is first and foremost a celebration for the local community. The programme is split between two main venues – performing arts space Vaba Lava and club Ro-Ro. The former hosted shows of the Asian Dub Foundation, Gus Gus and Hatari at the festival’s previous editions. This time, the names on the headliners’ bill are UNKLE’s James Lavelle , Ivan Dorn and Acid Arab , from the UK, Ukraine and France respectively. The series of shows at Vaba Lava kicks off with two sets by Estonian artists displaying different facets of the country’s pop music. Tallinn-based Manna indulges in gloomy self-reflection placed in a minimalist trip-hop context, while IVI , a glamorous songwriter from Narva, sounds upbeat and looks as sparkling as if she was performing at the Eurovision contest. The attendees of different ages wear outfits, in their fanciness, matching the glittery costume of the performer.

In Narva, connection with culture is essential. The festival is organised by Shiftworks, a parent company running one of the biggest showcase festivals in Scandinavia and the Baltics – Tallinn Music Week. Unlike the latter, displaying different facets of Estonian music, Station Narva zooms in on the predominantly Russian-speaking community with their needs and interests. The headliner of Friday evening, indie-pop performer Ivan Dorn has devotees aplenty both in Narva and the rest of the country. The Russian-born Ukrainian singer, who currently resides in France, uses different languages accordingly to communicate with his audience. His multilingual monologues and spoken word bits between the songs are accompanied by waves of applause and cheer. Bouncy beats and wacky keyboards match the stream-of-consciousness lyrics both raising eyebrows and causing uproar of laughter. Meanwhile, his songs quickly spark singalong among the fans. The bond between the singer and the audience is strong. One of the visitors, Marina, a visual artist from St. Petersburg, who moved to Estonia three years ago, tells Under The Radar that she has been listening to Dorn since she was a student in Russia. “His wildness resonates with me. I like him being so humanly droll”.

The same evening, the collective Tovarish Astronom (translates from Russian as Comrade Astronomer) plays at the dim hut-looking interior of the riverside art club Ro-Ro. Although their lyrics and melancholy-tinged vocals allude to Soviet counterculture songwriter Viktor Tsoi, the general sound balancing between post-punk murkiness and rattling psychedelia conjures up New Zealand’s indie The Clean and The Chills. Were Kino (Tsoi’s band) signed to Flying Nun Records, that would be the sound.

Within two days at Vaba Lava, visitors are presented with strikingly different acts. The Saturday programme sees artists that add avant-garde tones to the upbeat sonic palette. Estonian producers Raul Saaremets (aka Ajukaja) and Mart Avi are a longstanding duo blending house and glam aesthetics. Accordingly, there is a perfect balance of stillness and motion. While Raul, behind the decks, weaves a cobweb of captivating beats and subterranean bass, Mart imbues this seemingly underwater sound with the sensuality of his vocals and movements. His sequined vintage shirt adds to the sparkling, intense and life-affirming presence. The facade conceals much more just as the visuals behind the artists. The footage of the 1940s nuclear weapon testing suggests the alternative (and soothing) scenario: the light of the explosion transforms into an alien vehicle and takes off in the direction of space.

Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jimi Tenor continues the sci-fi trajectory, occasionally talking about the transcendental and using the magic of the Moog synthesiser. While the beginning is pretty much along the lines of Peter Kember and Noah Lennox aka Sonic Boom and Panda Bear, it gets more kaleidoscopic at a later point. There are elements of free jazz (part of the artist’s moniker is due to him playing tenor saxophone) as well as Balearic beat. The audience doesn’t seem to mind such eclecticism simply enjoying the balmy evening and music.

At Station Narva, it quickly becomes clear that contrast is what defines the image of Narva and makes it a unique and unforgettable place. Liminal if you wish, but ensuring the transformation is possible.

Ivan Dorn Among Ukrainian Artists Set to ‘Stand Up’ for Their Home Country in U.S. Charity Concert Tour This Summer

As the war in Ukraine rages on, recently marking a grim 100-day milestone, some of the country’s music stars are banding together to raise funds abroad in an effort to aid their countrymen, and women, still fighting in the east of the now war-torn nation.

Ivan Dorn, one of Ukraine’s most eclectic and best-known music names, is currently playing a string of European tour dates and he now will be joined by Ukrainian artists The Hardkiss, ONUKA, and Artem Pivovarov in a small American “Stand Up For Ukraine” tour this summer. The trek is set to begin in Miami later this month, with shows to follow next month in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle.

For Dorn, the gigs are a chance to play for Ukrainian fans currently living in the United States, as well as for liberal Russian expatriates and curious Americans who are sympathetic to Ukraine’s current predicament.

“What I want to do, is spread Ukrainian culture, music and DNA through the concerts,” he says from Paris, where he is now (temporarily) living with his family. “Ukraine is a specific culture, and its culture is bullet proof — you can’t ever kill the idea of Ukraine.”

The 33-year-old is currently in the middle of a series of shows in Europe (also fundraising engagements) and he says the response from fans was different, and highly emotional, this time out on the road with the war top-of-mind for concert-goers.

“I wasn’t sure how my concerts should be….but after the first performance in Vilnius [Lithuania], I figured out that you don’t need to preach [politics] from the stage; you don’t need to talk about the war, it’s all around us already, we need to just let people express their emotions, and to express themselves,” he says. “I never saw so many people crying during my concerts, especially during the melancholic tracks like my Ukrainian language single from last year,” he adds.

Dorn inhabits a somewhat unique position within Kyiv’s music universe. The artist performs in Ukrainian, Russian and English, and he has followers all over the Russian Federation as well as within Ukraine. He says he has tried to use his reach into Russia in years past to try and build bridges and create a culture of peace, something that has been perhaps permanently shattered now.

Dorn was recently put in a list of banned artists for live shows within the Russian Federation for his pro-Ukraine politics, but says, “I wasn’t disappointed by this. After the war started in February, there was no way I was going to perform in Russia anymore anyway.”

Dorn continues: “I was still trying to build bridges between Ukraine and Russia years ago, even after what happened in 2014 [Russia’s invasion and contested annexation of Crimea]. I believe that we still need to try and find a solution. But Ukraine is a different country, with its own values — yet after the war started in February, it doesn’t matter anymore. That’s all gone now. There were a lot of Ukrainian artists actually who were trying to spread Ukrainian values inside Russia through touring and our music, but it didn’t help stop the war, ultimately.”

The best Dorn can do now is to try and change the hearts and minds of Russians (and other nationalities) that he can still reach outside of Russia (some of whom are in the U.S.) through his music.The singer is also bullish on releasing more English-language songs, and he will be performing some of his English repertoire songs on the Stand Up For Ukraine tour. (Dorn released an entire album’s worth of English songs in 2017, “OTD,” which was written and recorded in Los Angeles, and includes the standout “Beverly.”)

So how many songs will Dorn play from “OTD” during his US tour? That remains to be seen, and depends of what he thinks the audience make-up is like at his first show in Miami on June 28th.

“I will see what kind of people show up at the first concert in the States,” he says. “If I see that there are a lot of local U.S. natives there, I’ll do more English-language songs on the U.S. tour. But if it is all Ukrainian or Russian expats, I’ll adjust my set.”

The main thing the songwriter/performer/producer hopes to accomplish in America this summer, is to raise money for charity, and to inspire people.

“We already have raised over 2 million Ukrainian Hryvnia,” he says (around $68,000). “It’s not that much so far, but everything helps and it’s still something. I just want people to see how big our culture is, and I want people to see all the bands on this tour to discover new music from Ukraine and maybe it will inspire in some way to bring us all closer.”

Popular Tracks

Ivan Dorn UA

MTV Music Award winner Ivan Dorn started his career solely in the Russian language and developed a local fanbase all the way from Warsaw to Vladivostok – culminating in a role of a judge on The Voice and X Factor. His platinum-selling debut album Con’dorn is considered a classic. His controversial shows and unique blend of 90s house, pop, nu-disco, funk and jazz landed him right at the centre of attention. The follow-up Randorn (2014) crossed the bridge between underground and mainstream, solidifying his stardom. That masterpiece contained tunes that would fit nicely between Aphex Twin, Kavinsky and Pharrell Williams.

In 2019 he crafted the irresistible tune “Right Wrong” with Victor Solf (formerly of the French supergroup Her). Numbers EP (2019), a collaboration with Seven Davis Jr, saw the likes of Clash, Louder Than War, and Under The Radar shower it with praise. In 2020 he released a single “Love Could Be”.

Ivan Dorn is a singer, DJ and producer with an overflow on creativity. His extravagant fashion style and his infectious positive charisma have set the European world of music on fire like a wildfire.
