Now that the official promotion tour is over, I am open to all interesting ideas and invitations. So far I have already been booked for a couple of recitals in summer and I will take part in some gala concerts with some of the numbers with live dancer from my program.

The Dance Album live in Tallinn – all together!
My small tour ends with the final concert in the capital and for this occasion I have invited many fellow musicians to play with me, too. The percussionists that I had for the recording couldn’t make it for the concert but they suggested that I contact Mr. Riho Ridbeck from the legendary Hortus Musicus. He… Continue reading
The posters of the Dance Album tour
Here are some more of the ideas that my artist gave to me when I was planning the tour. Only one of them was chosen (the one with blue and white) but there was some kind of misunderstanding between the pdf file and the printing software so it omitted the blue color at all and… Continue reading
Dance Album live in Kuressaare castle
The Dance Album tour continues on the islands. First is Saaremaa. I spent my schoolyears on the island Saaremaa and have been playing the guitar in this building on countless occasions. It is a mysterious place. “The castle is the only medieval fortification in the Baltic States that has not undergone considerable alterations and due… Continue reading

The artwork of The Dance Album
With this CD I was lucky enough to get Pelle and Mariliis from Sotapota to work on my CD’s artwork. It was obvious that the artwork had to be connected to the dance topic but it took some time to get the final idea that we used. First we started with a photo session and… Continue reading
Editing and mastering the material
Mostly the people in radio that do the editing are different from those who take the music up. In some cases it can be the same person as it was with our guitar duo cd. The main principles in the radio are to use as little after editing as possible. The sound should be the… Continue reading
Recording The Dance Album
So we had chosen a church about 40 km from Tallinn to record the album. Now I think I would do it in a studio on the carpet. It scares me that everything must be done on the spot. The same crew had recorded a harpsichord CD in the same church recently and my editor… Continue reading
