Bruce Gilbert, guitarist for Wire, once stated that he aimed at turning the guitar from a melodic to a percussive instrument, an idea much appreciated and something I have attempted, on a very hit or miss basis, to do. 

More of a listener than a musician, influenced by the harsh noise from a good many post-industrial outfits, from Throbbing Gristle, Zoviet France and beyond, I attempt to curate my own soundscapes and drone-based musique concrète. 

Well, does it "work"? Probably not, but I do try and always feel a bit more "zen" during the process. 

Enjoy the noise.

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.
