„Ein Gespräch über Musik für Film, Musik von estnischen Kompinistinnen, Musik von Frauen, Musik von 3 estnischen Komponistinnn mit denen ich Filme machte.
Oder eher in Bericht über meine Zusammenarbeit mit Komponistinnen, wie Z.B.: Helena Tulve, Tatjana Kozlova und Liis Jürgens. Alle drei leben in Tallinn.
Helena Tulve wurde 1972 geboren, sie war Studentin von Erkki-Sven Tüür. Liis und Tanja studieren Komposition bei Helena an der Tallinn Musik Akademie.
Meine erste Zusammenarbeit mit Helena war 2001 für meinen Film “Minu maja on minu maa” –my home is my castle–“. 2004 bat sie mich einen Film anhand ihres Tonstücks „Delta“ zu machen.
Und als ich letztes Jahr das neue Projekt „Atom Cities“ in Estland angefang habe, bat ich sie, den soundtrack für den Film “Sillamäe” zu machen, den sie mit Tanja gestaltet hat. Dann komponierte Liis den Soundtrack zu den Film “Paldiski”.
Heute Abend setzte ich diese Arbeit fort. Ich bin keine Musikwissenschaftlerin und spreche über unsern gemeinsamen Erfahrungen.“
Die Filme von Eléonore de Montesquiou erforschen die Beziehung zwischen geografischen Grenzen und Idendität, sie benuzt ein formell minimales Vokabular und eine „träumerische Ästhetik“.
Die Künstlerin, die lange Zeit in Österreich, Estland und Deutschland gewohnt hat, steht beständig zwischen zwei Sprachen, zwei Kulturen, zwei Generationen, zwei Geschichten. Sie interviewt Leute, die in Grenzensituationen, urbanen zwischenräunmen, „vergessen“ Städten wohnen und kombiniert ihre Einsichten zu sensiblen Arbeiten. Ihre Videos bescheinigen die Liebe, die sie für eine Menschen entwickelt, durch eine Aufmerksamkeit für ihren spezifischen Alltag.

„A talk about music, music for films, music by Estonian composers, music by women, music by 3 Estonian female composers with whom I made films.
Or rather about my ongoing collaboration with composers, amongst them: Helena Tulve, Tatjana Kozlova and Liis Jürgens. All three are Estonian and live in Tallinn.
Helena Tulve was born in 1972, she was a pupil of Erkki-Sven Tüür. Liis and Tanja are both Helena’s student in composition at Tallinn’ music academy.
My first collaboration with Helena was in 2001 for my film “Minu maja on minu maa” –my home is my castle–. In 2004 she asked me to make a film with her sound piece “Delta”.
And as I was starting a new project in Estonia last year, “Atom Cities” I asked her to make the sound track of one of the films “Sillamäe”, which she realized with Tanja, and I asked Liis to make the sound track of the other b&w film “Paldiski”.
Tonight, I shall introduce their work to you. It is a very personal level, not being a musicologist, I will tell you about our common experiences.“
Eléonore de Montesquiou 's films explore the relation between geographic borders and identities, using a minimal formal vocabulary and a dreamlike aesthetic.The artist, having lived a long time in Austria, Estonia, and Germany, constantly finds herself between two languages, two cultures, two generations, two stories. She interviews the people who live in border areas, urban intervals, forgotten cities, and gathers their testimonies in a sensitive way. Her videos attest to the love she bears for these inhabitants through the careful attention given to their particular stories of every day life.

Helena Tulve (b. 1972 in Tallinn) is one of the most original talents in contemporary Estonian music. Her elaborate and rationally constructed works achieve exquisite expressiveness and emotional tension. The colourfulness and fluidity of her compositions suggest a comparison to natural processes. In her works, melodies verge on dissolving into the expressive variety of sound. The music is rich in timbral nuance. She makes use of micro-intervals, vibrato and untraditional playing techniques – of anything that enhances the delicacy and fluidity of the sound-texture.
Tatjana Kozlova (b. 1977 in Narva) is a composer whose music appears to be governed by the synesthetic sound perception and, at times, a slightly surreal sense of humour. Her music reflects the forms taken by living and lifeless matter and the changes that they undergo. She has “translated” into sound the various states of metal and water, sand and glass. Her work features unusual ways of instrument playing and orchestration techniques and unexpected sound complexes.
Music for ensembles of various sizes has to this point been predominant in Kozlova’s oeuvre.
Liis Jürgens (b. 1983 in Tallinn) ‘s music is „simply an assemblage of impressions. It reflects and comprises everything she has undergone, heard, seen, learned, and thought about, would it be an everyday life or metaphysical experience. And at most, the present while.“ She studied composition and harp in Tallinn and Vienna.
