The warmth of summer sunbeams
Glinting off the sea
Until the day sets into evening
Simon Dalzell - Rahu
Poeesia is a virtual instrument unlike any other. It is a playable poem, strongly inspired by Estonian nature, tradition, and the thriving local choral scene.
There are no rigid “articulations”, no fixed-length phrases, no keyswitching. Poeesia takes what you play, and performs it as an ensemble would, gliding between notes in soaring melisma and singing words with real meaning that flow together with natural lightness.
Let yourself be transported through the seasons by the unique intonations of the Estonian language, and the pure, crystalline sound of the singers' voices.
Poeesia was recorded in Tallinn with an ensemble of young performers; a passion project, born of a collaboration between friends, strangers, and local artists.
