Track 2 was born while composing for the dance performance ’A Good Run’ (2019) by Joonas Tagel. It was put aside to find a great spot somewhere else and had a steady landing on this album.
Track 3 was originally composed for the Eesti Lood short documentary film ’Sihtpunkt – olla õnnelik’ (2015) by Kertu Köösel.
Track 7 was originally composed for the Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2019 Satellite programme ’Musicity’ by Nick Luscombe and curator Kirke Päss [musicityglobal.com]
Here is a reworked version of the tune.
