Experimental film, which is shot frame-by-frame with 8mm camera. It follows different rythms in urban society. Old abandoned greenhouses from the Soviet time and quick changes in modern Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, are being used for the observation to show how a country transforms from post-socialism into capitalism.

Music:

The electro-acoustic composition “Blow” (2005) is created in Studio Alpha at Visby International Centre for Composers. In this piece I picked out some more characteristic sounds from my everyday environment: bottle blowing, heavy rain-drops on my window, pizzicato of wine-glasses... and developed these sound sources further to imaginary “blowing-landscape” where a wind never becomes silent. So, the key question is - to listen to the world and notice these “noises” of everyday life. I often follow this principe when I work with electronics. And every sound could be treated as music. I think, if you are a composer, it´s important to listen to the world what surrounds us and really live with open ears. And - pick up these sounds for your music.
