OOPUS is a folktronica four-piece from the land of wild forests, magical swamps, the sea and innovative technology. Its members fuse thousands of years old Estonian Runo songs, analogue acid synths, motion-triggered lights and visuals to electrify the dance floor like no other. Their powerful, genre-bending performances create a ritualistic experience that erases the boundaries between high and low, ancient and modern – true to the roots of ethno rave. In 2023 OOPUS released three live audiovisual albums MUHU ISLAND vol 1-3 and singles. Their 2022 album Folk On Acid was awarded the special prize of Estonian Public Radio 2 at Etnokulp – Estonian Ethno Music Awards 2022. OOPUS are Mari Meentalo (Estonian bagpipes, vocals and loops), Johannes Ahun (analogue synthesizers, live sound engineer), Aleksander Sprohgis (light installations and visuals) and Raho Aadla (dance).
