about

The aim of this album hasn't been the authentic interpretation of Nordic island's music - it's meant to be more like a musical travel report, a vision of the sea, the islands and the people.

“The Baltic Sea, with the indeterminable coastline of its lands and islands, is our Mediterranean of the North – just as open to all cultures as the Other Mediterranean, which has been the cradle of European civilization in the south. For the Baltic-Scandinavian peoples, the Baltic Sea space has been a program, which we have filled with our history, and which we today fill with our essence. It is up to us to choose the ways and the means. Here you have two Estonian men, who have plucked notes from the Nordic islands, and have transformed them for us into today’s world. Here is one way to capture the tunes of the Nordic Mediterranean.”
These words of the writer turned President of the Estonian Republic accompanied Villu Veski and Tiit Kalluste record “Sounds of the Nordic Islands”.
