🎶 Inspired by the traditions of their heritage, Duo Ruut is influenced by both the beliefs of various cultures and their own contemporary, emotional songwriting. Since they compose on just one instrument, the zither, the music is minimalist at its core – yet full of new and imaginative ideas.

Ann-Lisett Rebane and Katariina Kivi stand opposite each other at the zither, plucking and striking its strings, sometimes using the body as a percussion instrument. Accompanied by ethereal voices that slowly draw listeners into their soundscape, they prove that sometimes the simplest, most minimalist music can touch us most deeply.

Recently they released their second studio album Ilmateade ("The Weather Report"), which tells stories from different times, of different people, and especially of different weather. With traditional Estonian texts as lyrics, the album is a testament that weather is not just a passive element behind our windows, but a constantly changing force – a character that has more influence on us than we often acknowledge in our hectic daily lives.
