New piece – The Miraculous Monk – under the process
Three months ago got an offer to compose a piece for anniversary of the school where I currently teach – Vanalinna Hariduskolleegium. For about two months I was wondering, what should be the concept of the piece. Usually after the concept is found – everything else start going smoothly. I wanted to accent the school’s long…

New piece for solo guitar
Few days ago started writing a new piece for solo guitar. The form reminds of a sonata, but with more freedom. It is nice to study different forms and know how to handle them, but it is exiting to open them up a bit and bring some freshness and unpredictability. It will be…

New piece is finished!
Yesterday I finished my new piece for soprano and lute. The text is by Georgy Ivanov (a leading poet and essayist of the Russian emigration between the 1930s and 1950s), who in some of his poems was passionate about and inspired by the Middle East. In the music I also tried to add a bit…

Pieces becoming ready!
Three of five pieces inspired by the Lapland are ready! All pretty and different from each other 🙂 Little by little I start practicing them and during the beginning of Autumn will make a recording, so you can hear them too! There is obvious development in my composition skills and I feel more or less satisfied…

“Theme, Variations and Finale”
“Theme, Variations and Finale” (Tribute to Ilya Muromets a bogatyr)” is RECORDED! 🙂 In my opinion it is one of my best compositions for guitar solo written until now. Here is a short background of the piece: When I was a small kid, my mother used to read me a lot of Russian fairy tales,…

New piece for two violins
Yesterday I started to write a new piece for two violins using African rhythms 🙂 That’s something interesting to think of and try. We, guitarists, have great Leo Brouwer (whom I had lucky chance to meet in person and talk!), who uses a lot of African rhythms in his music. So why not to try…
