about

The solo debut album by Maria Teriaeva marks the beginning of her experiments with the Buchla modular synthesizer.

Before taking up the Buchla, Maria played guitar in several Russian indie bands, also released a few instrumental EPs under the alias Dub I Prosto Derevo (Oak and Just a Tree). Aspiring to make music independently and being enthralled by the sound, Maria turned her attention to the Buchla synthesizer. Recorded within a year, Focus was released in 2017. At the release concert at The Great Hall of the Scriabin Museum in Moscow, she was accompanied by saxophone, trumpet, cello and viola, also featured on the recordings.

Originally released on September 8, 2017.
Pressed on vinyl by Wait What? Records – WTWT006, September 2017. Special 2018 edition by RR GEMS Records with re-produced layout for worldwide distribution, limited to 75 handcrafted numbered copies.
