  “Skein of Thought”
  
  I got the idea for this orchestra piece from a book by Nicholas Carr, “What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains”. It left a very strong impression on me… The author describes how human thought has been shaped through the centuries by “tools of the mind” – from the alphabet to maps, to the printing press, the clock, and the Internet these days. My piece was supposed to become a ‘scriptura continua’, a practice of writing without spaces between words, letters sitting next to each other without interword spacing and without the distractions of punctuation or upper and lower case letters. Later on this idea got a bit twisted: all of a sudden it was much more exciting to imagine the conscious of a person trying to decipher this kind of text… or rather explore the complexity of the human mind, and the simplicity at the same time, the reflective thinking of an adult or the immediate thinking of an infant. Perhaps the piece will give a hint of the original and the ancient, the totally non-linear thinking since before the maps, the clock and the printing press.

  ‘Harpyia’ means stormy winds or a storm bird in Ancient Greek. Mythological, half-woman, half-bird harpies (evil air spirits) were the embodiments of sudden wind gusts and extreme forces of nature. They could disappear as suddenly as they came. This is also how I would describe the material I worked with in the initial phase of composing this piece and which also includes elements of calm before the storm. However, the writing process itself was like an exercise in imagining the warming climate. I studied and read about the composition of air, atmospheric and greenhouse gases, and I started wondering what I think about climate change. How great and immediate does the danger seem to me? What and how much could I do for the next generations now, while I do not have to tackle unexpected climatic phenomena? And in light of these irreversible processes, do I somehow think about the meaning of my life differently?

  /

  The shape of a stone came to life for me once when I was reading a poem by Rilke – the inner calm and silence of a stone is a state that a person could learn from. As the basis, I chose the transformation of the rock of the earth crust – from a hot and dense yet liquid mass into solid stone – and gave it a human value… The story of how stone became “who” it is. The harpsichord embodies the self-consciousness of the stone, which rears its head from the impersonal chaos, looking for a perfect form, fighting against petrification (death) while yearning for it at the same time.

  Whisperer
  
  With regard to the timbral opportunities of bowed instruments, I have tried to convey the uttering of sounds, muttering, whistling, whispers and groans, which all together form an incessant meaningless tittle-tattle. When composing, I listened to and analysed many timbres, more and less resonant sounds. At the same time, this composition also aims to make string instruments sing in their characteristic way.

  Outlines of the Night
  
  Age Veeroos: “To get below the surface of the night, you need to take a closer look. Then again, I don’t know if I’d want to see everything it hides. Maybe it’s better to think of it as something pleasant. There is a certain mystery to it: its proximity heightens the senses and excites. Farther afield, an inexplicable darkness lurks in the shadows, both appealing and terrifying. Surely there is also a wonderful light out there somewhere.”

  Point of View
  
  Age Veeroos: “This piece focuses on a single theme examined from the perspective of the individual and the group. Individually (solo), the vision is presented in a straightforward and clear way, sometimes with excessive enthusiasm. In a group (ensemble), flexibility and working towards a common goal are more important. However, because individualism is deeply ingrained in us, holding common goals in sight is not always easy and the focus can become blurred. Point of View consists of six solos and one ensemble section. It can be heard interactively at https://uuu.ee/player/pointofview/ by choosing the solo at the beginning of the piece and answering a question after the first part.”

  The title Aither refers to ancient Greek mythology: Aither (air) was born to Nyx (night) and Erebos (darkness), who were the descendants of Chaos. Aither embodies the pure air of higher layers that the gods breathe, also the firmament and light. The piece examines the sphere of „upper air“ in its sparsity, brightness, distance or proximity.

  Katkendid kogumikust “Oma luulet ja võõrast” Ilmar Laaban Üle päeva peatunud jõe öö laguva kiviaia tagant läbi talve higirätiku keset luist suve mustavad su ripsmed, pajud mu valu niidul. Sulgeda rimp sinitaeva ees su naba paemurru põhjas suitseb ja häälitseb täringu tahkudelt peegeldub laas laas nagu roostes võti laas kus rahe kõneleb tõtt laas palavikus kätega. Ma tõstan umbrohtund põllu välja horisondi silmusest sõnadega tähitud laotusele näen linnusulgi kasvamas kõrbede liivas meresid naeratamas vulkaane nutmas loomi tantsimas jahedate välkude all ümber tuulikute igaviku. Luust võtmega avan ma ukse näen saalitäis tuld kerget hõredat nagu õhk ma lukustan ukse torkan luu tagasi lihha ja jälle hargneb sumiseb jalgradadelt ämblikuvõrk mille keskel ma seisan tumm hing hämar ja hingan sädemete praksudes suitsuses hingelõõris. Ma ütlin uks on liiga kitsas jääme parem edasi tuppa ja laseme ainult tuult läbi ukseava sahinana toob tuul hooti armastuse trummipõrinat toob tuul üle päeva peatunud jõe toob tuul öö laguva kiviaia tagant toob tuul läbi talve higirätiku toob tuul keset luist suve toob tuul. Ma seisan, ma seisan, ma seisan ja hajun laiali, laiali üle toa keset oma vaikuse kaost. Ma seisan ja otsin seinapragudest su näojooni, seinapragudest su näojooni. Kaua vaatasin nõnda, luust võtmega avan ma ukse näen saalitäis tuld kerget hõredat nagu õhk ma lukustan ukse torkan luu tagasi lihha ja jälle hargneb sumiseb jalgradadelt ämblikuvõrk mille keskel ma seisan tumm ning hämar ja hingan sädemete praksudes suitsuses hingelõõris. Kaua vaatasin nõnda, kuni kaotasin enda.

  Over the day’s halted river behind the night’s decaying stone wall through the winter’s sweat cloth in the middle of the bony summer your eyelashes blacken: the willows in the meadow of my pain. To draw the curtains over the blue sky your navel at the bottom of a limestone quarry is smoking and making noises the facets of a die reflect the woods woods like a rusty key woods where the hail speaks the truth woods with feverish hands. I raise the weed-grown field out of the horizon’s loop up to the skies patterned with words I see feathers grow in the sands of deserts I see seas smile volcanoes weep animals dance under the cool lightnings around the windmill’s eternity. With a bone key I open the door to see a hall full of fire light sparse as the air I lock the door stick the bone back to the flesh a nd again, from the paths would unravel and hum away the cobweb in the middle of which I am standing dumb and dim and breathing as the sparks are cracking in my smoky windpipe. I said the door was too narrow we’d better stay inside and let just the wind pass the doorway as a rustle the wind would bring in a times some drumbeats of love the wind would bring over the day’s halted river the wind would bring behind the night’s decaying stone wall the wind would bring through the winter’s sweat cloth the wind would bring in the middle of the bony summer the wind would bring. I stand, I stand, I stand and I scatter, scatter all over the room, in the chaos of my silence. I stand and I search for your features in the cracks of the wall, for your features in the cracks of the wall. For long I was standing like that, with a bone key I open the door to see a hall full of fire light sparse as the air I lock the door stick the bone back to the flesh and again, from the paths would unravel and hum away the cobweb in the middle of which I am standing dumb and dim and breathing as the sparks are cracking in my smoky windpipe. For long I was staring like that, until I lost myself Translation Maarja Kangro (from the booklet of Festival Afekt 2018)
