Maarja Nuut

 

Maarja Nuut is a singer, violinist, electronic artist, and composer whose work spans a vast range of rich musical worlds. Classically trained, she’s since delved into a number of disparate genres: Hindustani classical music while studying in New Delhi, Estonian archive
sounds and dance, ethnomusicological research, and, more recently, the outer limits of looping and electronic experimentation. Fuelled by her instincts and curiosity, such exploration comes from an inner need, and a desire to probe each world’s musical language, techniques,
and expressional qualities – elements she swirls into her own, mesmerising art.

A relentlessy inventive artist, Nuut has long been fascinated by storytelling and how the past might shape our futures; for her, myths provide touchpoints to the modern world and societal shifts. Since the release of her solo record ‘Une Meeles’ in 2016, she’s received widespread critical acclaim alongside numerous awards, and has toured the world extensively as a solo performer. Known for her compelling, often hypnotic live performances, she’s also collaborated with a number of artists such as Sun Araw, Hendrik Kaljujärv AKA Ruum, Nicolas Stocker and Shards among others.

Maarja’s third solo album, Hinged, released in August 2021 received widespread critical acclaim while reinforcing her reputation as one of Europe’s most innovative musical artists, always looking to dive deeper (Future Music).
