Maiia
Translated from sanskrit, MAIIA means magic, illusion, power, fruit of cosmic creativity. Through the music of our project we aim to attract listeners to explore ancient ethnic rhythms and magic sounds that filled the universe even at the times where no civilizations existed. We wish to remind people of the Nature surrounding human beings and to bring joy and love to their hearts.
Maiia (real name Alla Vagner) took her first lessons of acoustic guitar at the age of 12. She challenged the role of a bass player in several metal bands later on, giving club concerts around the city of Moscow.
In 2004 Maiia gets involved into different kinds of electronic music. She starts expressing herself as a downtempo DJ in 2005, playing her beautiful sets at the best club venues of Moscow. Her DJ sets get lined up at such huge events as KLUSA DABA (the largest ambient open air in Latvia), Rhythms of Peace (Morocco), Planet Art Eco Festival (Ukraine, Crimea), Systo Palty Gathering (coast of the Finnish Gulf), Trimurti (Russia). In 2006 Maiia's passion to electronic music evolves into music production. She draws her inspiration from the sounds of Nature and ancient ethnic music.
On regular basis Maiia records conceptual dj sets mixing various styles of downtempo. Her music is being broadcasted in multiple radio shows around the globe. Maiia is an often guest at the world's largest electronic music online radio station DI.FM (USA).
In 2009 Alla assembles her ethno psy chill band for live performances, consisting mainly of female musicians. The band inherits the name of its leader - MAIIA. Alla acts as the band's music author and producer. In addition to various synthesizers, many of Alla's recordings feature sounds of live instruments and vocals. As such in some the tracks you will hear the "cosmic guitar" of Mikhail Finogenov (aka beta700a), flutes, the overtone singing of Olya Zemlianika and Galina Shetinina's magic cello. Alla is open to collaborations with any instrumentalists inspired by her music.
