OOPUSEE

OOPUS blends analogue synthesizers, ancient runic songs, folk instruments, and original music inspired by their Finno-Ugric heritage. Their powerful, genre-defying performances create a ritualistic experience that dissolves the boundaries between high and low, the ancient and the modern, delivering an authentic ethno rave. At the 2025 Estonian Song and Dance Festival, a dance will be performed to Nõidus, an original piece by OOPUS, showcasing their unique fusion of tradition and innovation at this national celebration. OOPUS are Mari Meentalo (Estonian bagpipes, vocals, overtone flute, mouth harp, live looping), Johannes Ahun (analogue synthesizers, sound engineering), Raho Aadla (dance), and Aleksander Sprohgis (lights and visuals).
