Vincent Eoppolo (Ioppolo) is an American composer from Wilmington, Delaware.  Eoppolo’s compositions are a mix of various sound art traditions such as musique concrete, acousmatic music, electro-acoustic music and radio art.  Initially trained as both a Classical and Jazz guitarist,  Eoppolo began composing and recording electronic music in the early 1980’s shortly after the development of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) and the introduction of affordable home computers and recording equipment.  During the 1980-90’s Eoppolo’s fixed media compositions were regularly featured on university new music radio programs in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania region.  Additionally, Eoppolo’s works received recognition in music publications Keyboard Magazine and Computer Music Journal.  In recent years, Eoppolo’s fixed media works have been presented at the New York City Electro-Acoustic Music Festival, Mise_En Place New Music Festival in Brooklyn, Utopie Sonore in Nantes, France and De Natura Sonorum in Rome, Italy.  Eoppolo’s compositions have been released by Moscow based independent music label Meticulous Midgets and his works are regularly featured on new music radio and internet programs throughout Europe and North America.

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.

"The world is full of sounds. We just don't usually hear them as music."
- Ryuichi Sakamoto -
