Garden of Magic^CA

Toronto-based artist Daria Morgacheva, known on stage as Dora, channels her classical and jazz training into Garden of Magic, a solo electronic project where lush piano improvisations collide with deep rhythmic textures. Navigating a rich terrain between techno pulses and ambient expanses, Dora’s performances unfold as immersive rituals—moments of collective resonance crafted through instinctive live sampling and improvisation.

Born of both academic curiosity and emotional sensitivity, Dora’s creative universe bridges her background in physics and biology with a keen interest in the natural world and emerging technologies. These elements often ripple through her work, which flirts with the aesthetics of extended reality and the philosophical inquiries of posthumanism. Her live shows, described as transformative and connective, have shared stages with artists such as Alessandro Cortini, E-Saggila, and Myst Milano, and have lit up venues like the Drake Underground and Tranzac.

Outside her solo work, Dora is a member of bikebike, a rhythm-forward instrumental trio, and a frequent collaborator in Toronto’s experimental and electronic scenes. Her multimedia sound installations have been presented at UKAI Projects and DesignTO, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach to sonic expression. As one of the forces behind Borscht Radio, Dora also supports a vibrant network of experimental electronic artists.

Live | Canadian Premiere

Garden of Magic unspools a live set where deep grooves, polyrhythms, and lush piano textures collide in real time. Inspired by Bristol bass, world music, and algorithmic sound, her improvisational flow shapes each set like a kaleidoscope—fluid, alive, and never the same twice.
