"a" is the debut album by project by maria.
Built from the intersection of classical training and contemporary electronic production, the album explores memory, emotion, and visual storytelling. Each track begins with an image, a place, or a feeling rather than a musical reference, allowing listeners to create their own interpretations.
The premiere of "a" at Toplocentrala was conceived as more than a concert. The album was performed live through improvisation and reinterpretation, transforming the studio recordings into a unique, one-time experience.
Blending music, light, movement, and visual elements, the performance dissolved the boundary between artists and audience. Throughout the evening, Boris and Luka moved through the space, reshaping the music in real time and creating new material live, making every performance impossible to repeat.
project by maria is the collaboration of Bulgarian musicians Boris Chuchkov and Luka Yordanov. Trained in classical music from an early age and now living in different cities, they create electronic music shaped by memory, visual imagery, and shared experience.
Working across distance, they combine individual ideas into immersive compositions where classical foundations meet contemporary electronic sound. Their work draws inspiration from film, literature, visual art, and everyday moments, inviting listeners to interpret each piece in their own way.
The name project by maria represents a universal feeling of love, memory, and human connection, personal to everyone, yet shared by all.
