With EBDBB* on MayLily Days, a role in a short film
May 17th is the date of the festival with a peculiar name May Lily Days - founded and christened by late Sven Kuntu from Eriti Kurva Muusika Ansambel (Especially Sad Music Orchestra). The festival focuses on the fringe activities of some well and not so wellknown artists. The curators for the past several years have been Liina Keevallik and Katrin Essenson. This year's title is Midlife Crises and I'll be happy to participate within the ranks of Estonian Bad Dream Bigband (EDBB) and in a short film Swamm's Love or Oh Dear! as the male, somewhat decorative lead. Fun nevertheless!. Some info on kirbutsirkus.com, however it's in Estonian mostly. For those around in Tallinn - it takes place in Von Krahl Theatre and starts at 6PM.
In concert with EESTI ELEKTER
In concert with Eesti Elekter at the end of May. The actual date is still open, but will be confirmed soon. For more information on Improtest festival, see: improtest.ee or saal.ee
New Instrument
I have made a 'new instrument' for the concert of Eesti Elekter, which I call 'Battlebox'. Inititially a toy that played some samples of rocket launch and explosion sounds, the speed of the samples can be altered with the touch resistive pad and under some circumstances the samples can also be scrambled to play strange percussive noise. Reminds me a bit of Michel Waisvisz' Cracklebox, hence the name.
Work on new web
Work is under way on the website, which will be finalized in early May. Sights and sounds to delight you!
