Open Space is a pop rock and indie rock band from Minsk, Belarus.[3][4] Formed in 2006 with an English repertoire and a few Belarusian songs,[5] they later adapted mostly Russian lyrics. The band has released two full albums and several EPs and singles, but in recent years the musicians play together mostly as a cover band.[6][7] Since 2017, frontman Vitaliy Matievskiy has focused on his synth-pop duo Days of Days,[8] and since 2018 he also writes music for his solo electronic music project MATIVI.[9]
