    ENG. BELOW
    Olevat mees metsa läinud ja seal elama hakanud. Aega mööda hakkas mets end avama... See on heliline jutustus olemuse otsimisest läbi lihtsuse ... tulesoojuse ja vihma. Läbi meeletu tormi, kuuma päikesepaiste ja jäise lume. Muusika on oma visuaalse olemuse leidnud, luues 12 männikoorest ürgset olendit, kes räägivad igaüks enese lugu, moodustades läbi selle sügava terviklikkuse ringi.
    See album on minu jaoks varasematega võrreldes väga erinev mitmes mõttes. Kui ma varasemalt, viimased 25 loomeaastat, lõin helisid ning muusikalisi loodus jutustusi linna keskkonnas, siis antud album on valminud looduskeskkonnas ajal, kui linnakeskkond on saanud minu jaoks mälestuseks. Alguses ei olnud mul plaani ega mõtet alustada albumi tegemist, sees oli lihtsalt siiras soov jälle helide keskel olla. Aega mööda hakkasid aga sündima helilised jutustused elust ja tunnetest ürglooduse keskel, saateks päeval lindude laul ning öösiti hundi ulgumised ... kuniks ühel õhtul sooja lõkke pragina saatel varem Soome ning Võrumaa lageraie lankidelt kokku otsitud suurtest männikoore tükkidest müstilised olendid alustasid oma sündi läbi noa ja minu käte.
    Tehniliselt on kasutatud äärmiselt primitiivseid vahendeid, vana lakast leitud arvuti, millel peal samad muusika loomise programmid, milledega ma oma loometeed 25 aastat tagasi alustasin. Lisana on kasutatud kohalikke looduskeskkonna helisid. Material on peale valmimist salvestatud läbi vanakooli krabiseva ja sahiseva analoogkonsooli.

    Loodus ja maailm on müstiline ning ma olen tänulik, et saan olla osa sellest.

    A man went to the forest and started living there. Over time, the forest began to open up... it is a sonic story about searching for essence through simplicity ... the warmth of fire and rain. Through a frantic storm, hot sunshine and icy snow. The music has found its visual essence, creating 12 primitive creatures from pine bark, each of which tells its own story, forming a circle of deep integrity through it.
    This album is very different for me in many ways compared to my previous ones. While I previously, for the last 25 creative years, created sounds and musical nature stories in an urban environment, this album was made in a natural environment at a time when the urban environment has become a memory for me. At first, I had no plan or idea to start making an album, I just had a sincere desire to be among sounds again. Over time, however, sound stories about life and feelings in the midst of primeval nature began to emerge, accompanied by birdsong during the day and wolf howls at night... until one evening, accompanied by the crackling of a warm campfire, mystical creatures began their birth through a knife and my hands from large pieces of pine bark previously collected from the clearings of Võru County.
    Technically, extremely primitive tools have been used, a computer found in an old barn, on which are the same music creation programs that I started my creative path with 25 years ago. Local sounds of the natural environment have been used as an addition. After completion, the material has been recorded through an old-school, crackling and rustling analog console.

    Nature and the world are mystical and I am grateful that I can be a part of it.
