“Hard Avi” (released April 2022) is a hybrid track that fuses hard‑edged synth‑rock with traditional Siberian rhythmic motifs. Its title is a phonetic play on the Russian phrase «Хард Авиа» (“hard aviation”), evoking both the ferocity of industrial soundscapes and the soaring spirit of flight—an apt metaphor for Siberia’s isolation and aspiration.
Key compositional elements:
| Element | Description | Source | |---------|-------------|--------| | Bassline | Aggressive, side‑chained FM synth with a sub‑octave distortion, reminiscent of 1990s rave. | Modular Eurorack (Doepfer A-140) | | Percussion | Layered samples of reindeer hooves (recorded in the Yakutian tundra) processed through granular synthesis, giving a “crackling” feel. | Field recordings from 1st Studio | | Melodic Hook | A pentatonic motif derived from Khanty folk songs, transposed an octave higher and played on a virtual analog lead. | Ethnomusicology research | | Vocals | Veronika’s processed voice—part whisper, part chant—augmented with a vocoder that mimics the timbre of a soaring albatross. | Ableton Vocoder | | Structural Twist | A mid‑track time‑signature shift from 4/4 to 7/8, representing the unpredictable Siberian weather. | Compositional experiment |
The track’s mixing was handled by the studio’s chief engineer, Dmitri “Glitch” Petrov, who employed mid/side EQ to give the low‑frequency content a wide, atmospheric presence while preserving the intimacy of Veronika’s vocal nuances. The final master was loudness‑optimized to 0 LUFS for streaming platforms, yet retained dynamic contrast, a rare achievement for a “hard” electronic anthem. Editing & Comping

Masha first appeared in a 2015 animated short titled “Masha’s Midnight Run,” created by a team of students from the Irkutsk State Academy of Arts. The mouse, a small, silver‑furred creature with an oversized tuft of amber fur, is depicted darting through pine‑dense corridors, evading predators, and discovering hidden caches of ancient Siberian shamanic artifacts. The narrative was loosely based on a Buryat legend about a tiny guardian spirit protecting the forest’s secrets.
The studio adopted Masha as its mascot for several reasons: Mastering
