Prior to her interest in modular synthesis, composer and producer Maria Teriaeva played guitar in several Russian indie bands, composing a number of instrumental EPs under the alias Dub I Prosto Derevo (Oak and Just a Tree).
Aspiring to make music independently, however, Teriaeva turned her attention to adopting Buchla synthesisers as a framework for her sound alongside acoustic instrumentation and voice, releasing her debut LP Focus in 2017.
