   Gravitsapa, in English, Gravity, was founded in Lviv in 2005. The name 
of this group has been given by the 1986 Soviet cult movie Kin-Dza-Dza!,
 which shows a post-apocalyptic hostile world.
One would not find 
evidence of a commitment to any one style as representing this 
avant-garde band's artistic philosophy. At the same time, it seems that 
the leading work principle is to avoid repeating successful experiments 
from track to track. This methodology stimulates constant finding of 
means for evading genre commonplaces, creating metaphysical atmosphere, 
and calling forth ecstasies with the help of music.
On the 
Italian avant-garde label HysM?, Gravitsapa has released two EPs to 
date: "Free Radio Taxipod" and "Vulgata," both in 2013. "Demo-2," the 
band's first full-length album, was released in 2016. In 2023, they 
released their second full-length album entitled "Concert No. 1 '23.23' 
(for Chamber Duo with looper and Polivox)."
