giving away the old notes and entering Tartu music school in 2015
“So... I have
these scores. It's like 200 years old, Beethoven sonatas, Chopin
things. This is a bit later. And it's like... It took a lot of time
to actually dedicate and compose and arrange these things. But in
this music that you are now hearing, I'm just improvising and there's
like no pre-planned... habits. It's more like... I'm comfortable in
some of the scales.
And why I talk about
these scores? There was a time for me, when it was very hard to let
go of the notes, that I bought from Vienna. Complete sonatas of
Beethoven and some Chopin works and some Liszt works and I kinda
cling to these works. And I was like really sad.
From Nietzsche it
was very easy to let go, it was like not a problem, but from
Beethoven it was emotionally tough. And then I decided to give it
away, there's this music school at Tartu and once I put on a blue
robe and I just walk into there and I just leave them there in the
hallway. Hoping that a music student or someone would pick them up. I
had like personal remarks of Appassionata, I correct the edition,
because it was not properly done, there was a mistake and...
So I just give it
away to the music school in Tartu, this Beethoven sonatas. And later
I also attempt to enter this music school. I come with a bicycle from
my friend Tõnu from Viljandi County and secretly-secretly I ride 70
km with the bicycle and attempt to enter the music school.
I was really upset
about the system, I told my mother that I don't trust any of it and
she's like: “Ok, let's see, we can...” And she helps me with the
birth certificate and... And then I go to the entrance of the school
and there's a lady and I let her in and later she helps me.
I get a chance to
sing a song that they provide for me. But the real part was not about
the solfeggio. When other students take the solfeggio test, I kind of
refuse. I knew I would not fit the standards. So I kinda hang out on
the bench outside.
And when the other
students do the solfeggio test, there are these people create this
opportunity for me, I could enter the empty hallway. Not the hallway
but the hall. Like the place where they hold the concerts. And then
there's this sign on the wall that: “You can only enter while
there's an applause going on.” There's this sign because... so that
people would not interrupt during the concert.
But now the hall is
empty and there's this sign: “You can only enter when there's an
applause going on.” But before that I meet a really flexible girl
and she kinda inspires me... And so I do this applause and open the
door at the same time.
And I go in that
hall and it's empty and there's this big piano on the stage. And
while the other students are away and do the solfeggio test, I go to
the big grand piano. I always want to play these pianos, they're like
standing silently in solitude in the night or something.
So it was like the
room was dark and I go to piano on the stage and the grand piano I
open. Then there was another guy who also inspired me... I got in the
mood of creating a really complex waves of sounds. And then I knew
that these guys were waiting for me, until I finish with the piano.
And it was my test.
And then I simply play this piano for like... until I get a sign that
it is done and the ancient curse was lifted. There was this curse
that... I think ancient Greek one. There's a guy attempting to enter
the underworld, but when he tries to get the girl, then when he looks
back, while attempting to get out of the underworld, then the girl
would like disappear.
So I lifted this
curse. How I did it? I played for like 20 minutes and then I get this
sign: “Now I can go.” Then I play a little bit more. And then I
get outside of the door. And everybody's gone. And I pick up my
jacket, this fairy jacket that I have. And I get out.
And when I walk back
at home to my Tartu apartment, I never look back. I was like full
trust. And it was like way way more intense. And actually before I go
at the music school, my father gives me this red-black thing, that
you use to hit the carpets.
So I also like
lifted some dimensional areas. But it was beautiful, I was alone and
it was a single work. The music school was nice. I got inside, but I
didn't get inside on an official level. But I get inside... by full
trust... I was in.
And this is what I
wanted to say maybe. I don't know if the story makes sense, for me it
makes a lot of sense on some level and on some levels there's big
missing areas of the story. I think piano is a great tool to correct
the shit.
Anyway, so... I had
this dream that I would go to music school. Also in India I was
attempting to go to music school. But I never find it. Also I don't
get the chance to go to Varanasi. So, what is this?
But I get a chance
to play 6 hours a day at the Tallinn Art Hall. For more than 1 month.
1 and half months I play 6 hours a day, 5 days a week in the Tallinn
Art Hall, and this is what you're hearing. This is the recordings of
it, I also get the chance to have a recorder and make top quality
records, whatever.
And for me it is
easier to speak when the emotional waves are my own, and not someone
attempting to hurt me aggressively. For me, I think I can pretty
easily reach and access... What I truly want would be to actually
give something out to the people.
This song is very
long, it's 11 minutes. But I also have recordings of 30 minutes, 20
minutes. I am not really sure what it is, it's like a trance state
but it's also outside of these worlds, it's attempting to connect
with other life forms, who then beautifully come down and approach
us.
Also I think a very
good way to bring in somebody into your life is through the children.
I think it's a natural way for the souls to come back and return,
through childbirth. Not with cars but through the love connection
between the parents, the child can come in and this how you form
together the new soul groups.
This is how you gain
and create the safe-space. By harmonious relationships between the
mother and father.”
