Darja Kazimira is one of the central visionaries in the field of ritual ambient, ritual music and a representative of outsider art, combining experimental bodily practices, archaic art, and mental destruction in her work, according to the author as a way to achieve uncontrollable, sacralized sound. The musician performs all her works on idiosyncratic language invented directly by herself, at the beginning inspired by Cubo-Futurists and witch songs from the collection of Ivan Sakharov that then turned into a complex, ideological anti-semantic system of imitation of the most different languages of the world.
The ideological views of Darja Kazimira are based on the constant process of comprehending tragedy and its relationship with myth. The musician herself claims that her concept was formed under the influence of the works of Mircea Eliade and Rene Girard. Like her inspirers in the form of tragedy and myth, Darja Kazimira explores the themes of relationships between man and archaic religions, taboos, violence, death, transforming these themes into long musical cycles performed on behalf of the holy fool mediator.
