Duo Ruut

listenberlin presents

Inspired by the traditions of their heritage, Duo Ruut draw influence from both the beliefs of different cultures and their own contemporary and emotive songwriting.  As they are composing on one instrument, the zither, their music is minimalist at its core but packed with new and imaginative ideas. 

They stand either side of the zither, each plucking and strumming its strings and sometimes tapping its body for percussive purposes. As Songlines has said - accompanied by ethereal voices which slowly draw you to the world. Sometimes the barest, most minimal music can hit the hardest. 

They have freshly released their second full album Ilmateade (“The Weather Report”), which tells stories from different times, different people and most of all, from different weathers. Using Estonian traditional texts as song lyrics, it is a testament to the fact that the weather is not just a passive element behind our windows, but instead an ever-changing character that has more power over us than we care to remember in our busy daily lives.
