Duo Maria Korepanova-Vlady Bystrov EE, DE

The duo of Vlady Bystrov (electronics, woodwinds) and Maria Korepanova (vocals) merges folktronica, avant-garde, contemporary music, and jazz. Drawing from Korepanova's bessermjan Krez singing—an improvisational style from the Finno-Ugric Bessermjan people—they fuse ancient traditions with modern sound. Bystrov's innovative electronic textures blend with acoustic warmth, while Korepanova's voice brings archaic melodies into contemporary realms, ranging from delicate intimacy to intense drama. Together, they create a unique soundscape bridging folklore and experimental music.
