"Miž hor, miž hor, miež daliny" is a track inspired by a traditional Belarusian folk song. It reflects the song’s mood and essence through minimalism and lo-fi textures, offering a thoughtful reinterpretation while keeping a connection to its roots.

Miž hor, miž hor, miež daliny
Nie viasioł sakoł letajeć

Nie viasioł sakoł letajeć,
on tyvaryšča hukajeć.

«Ty tyvaryšč, rodnyj braciec,
Pyzavi mnie dzieŭku z chaty,

Pyzavi mnie dzieŭku z chaty
mušu jaje pupytaci,

Mušu jaje pupytaci,
Ci nia biła jaje maci».

«Oj, choć biła, choć nia biła,
svyja maci - nie čužaja,

Svyja maci - nie čužaja,
štob ja s parniem nie hulała,

Ja hulała - hulać budu,
ja lubiła - lubić budu».

DREVA is an experimental sound project rooted in transformation and resilience. Named after the Belarusian word for "tree," DREVA embodies the raw, organic energy of growth amid harsh conditions. It’s a sonic exploration of ambient, noise, field recordings, and minimalist structures, consciously embracing lo-fi aesthetics to amplify the intimacy and unpolished honesty of its sound. Atonal elements and haunting drones weave through the compositions, with subtle nods to black metal aesthetics, creating a visceral connection to nature, memory, and the struggle for self-identity.

Emerging from the shadows of a repressive regime, DREVA reflects the journey of an emigrant artist reclaiming their narrative. Each track is a branch, each sound a root—grounded in personal history yet reaching toward new horizons. The project thrives on imperfection, using lo-fi as both a technical choice and an emotional tool to strip away artifice and confront the listener with stark, unfiltered reality.

DREVA’s music resonates with those seeking the unfamiliar, the introspective, and the raw. Ideal for festivals, art installations, and platforms that celebrate uncompromising, boundary-pushing sound, DREVA offers a deeply personal yet universal experience.
