This Tumblr is a mosaic of impressions in image and sound from my two years as a student of “Contemporary Performance and Composition” in Tallinn, Stockholm, Lyon and Hamburg between 2018 and 2020. It is both a place of remembrance and of sharing the unique experience of this program. I’m grateful for having crossed paths with so many inspiring and creative people on the way, intercultural exchange and the vision of a world without borders is really at the heart of CoPeCo.

ABOUT\

**bois mort** (dead wood) is a 30-minute solo performance with acoustic guitar, objects and live-electronics, recorded in one continuous take as part of my Master's degree in Contemporary Performance and Composition in 2020. The program presents an alternative approach to a solo guitar performance. It unfolds as a sonic journey through the instrument and its material in search of the natural in music and the musical in nature. The guitar is reduced to its essence: a wooden box with strings that I make resonate using different objects and self-made tools. Live-electronics augment the acoustic sound and highlight different qualities of it throughout the performance to create an immersive listening experience.

read me

I read me like a poem read without haste pronounce each syllable feel every word on your tongue weigh the heaviness of each part of speech and try to reach the core you want to

understanding is possible in many ways punctuation marks can be scattered here and there writing can be solid or separate quite randomly the final meanings will become clear only later

read me  at your own speed at my speed invent new reading positions play with exclamatory words onomatopoetry echoes and pauses read me

- Kai Aareleid (Estonia)
