Sometime in mid-September 2021, during a short, needed lull in a global
pandemic, we gathered to write a musical love letter to a spectacular city.

The idea was for the four of us:
a Dane, two Estonians, and an American,
(Jonas Bjerre, Erki Pärnoja, Jonas Kaarnamets, Alex Maiolo)
to harvest sounds that told stories about Tallinn.
These would be assembled not
primarily in the tradition of musique concrète, but rather as a series of
instructions. Recordings of trams, the sea, footsteps, church services, markets,
cafés, and flagpoles rattling in the wind, often working behind the scenes, would
influence rhythms, patterns, note pitch, selection, and duration, while
symbiotically working with us, the musicians. Additionally, light readings from
parks, the harbor, leaves, and the sky would be converted to voltage to do the
same.
Effectively Tallinn was to become our fifth band member.

Ideally, the arc of the piece would include references to the city’s past and present, considering this would be constructed during the 20th anniversary of Estonia’s Independence.
We arrived for our first writing and sound gathering sessions with nothing
prepared but this concept, and presented the composition 10 days later, at Tallinn
Music Week’s opening night ceremony, on 30 September.
This is a live recording of that performance.
