Concert of ensemble Una Corda "Labyrinths of Stillness" 20.02.2022 in The Kadriorg Art Museum.

Vaikuse labürindi loomisprotsessi alguses viibisin ühes väikeses külamajakeses. Hommikuti ärgates läksin alati kohe aeda, kus oli eriliselt rahulik atmosfäär, kuulda võis ainult lindude-konnade hääli ja tuule kohinat. Õues oli kivist laud keraamilise lillepotiga. Ühel hommikul märkasin taime ümber ämblikuvõrku – päike peegeldus ämblikuvõrgus ja tuul sasis seda, lisades lillele värvivariatsioone ja muutes selle mitmekesiseks tähenduste võrgustikuks.
Tekkis omamoodi labürint. Oli aprill. Järgmisel päeval sadas väga tugevalt ja vaatemängu iseloom muutus. Veepiisad ämblikuvõrkudel sisendasid teatud melanhooliat. Üks pilt kahes erinevas stsenaariumis (päike ja vihm) aitasid mul leida muusikalised elemendid, mis ühendavad teose idee ja teostuse: kujundasin pinge ja paisumise fookused, mis on seotud mälu, taju, aja ja intuitsiooniga, vastandlike struktuurijõudude ja emotsioonidega.

When I started the process of creating “Labyrinth of Stillness”, I was in a small village’s house. When I woke up I came to the garden, as I always did when the weather was good. Outside, on the stone table, there was a ceramic bowl, with soil and plants. That morning, I noticed the spider webs surrounding the plants. It was a calm environment. Birds, frogs and wind could be heard. The sun and wind reflected and fanned the spider webs, adding a variation of tone to the color of the plants, transforming them into a profound diversity of meanings. A labyrinth where some colors emerged in the stillness. It was April. The next day there was heavy, very heavy rain. The character of the image has changed. With the rain, the spider webs
assumed another form of compromise, some melancholy, where drops of water were inscribed. The connection of the same image, placed in two different scenarios (sun and rain), led me to the musical elements that unite the idea with the discourse of the work. After reflecting on these visual elements, I created focuses of tension and distension, linked to
memory, perception, time and intuition, in a balance between opposing structural forces and emotion. During the discourse, several images are created, placing the sound in constant variation and different perspectives of organization and dialogue.
