A contract so weird that finnishcomposers society had never seen anything like! Yes, I’m composing a Living Requiem, for my friend S (he doesn’t plan to die, but he likes to plan). What would you like to have in your Requiem? #livingrequiem #composerinresidence #composerinresidenceinparis

Week three in the life of a composer in residence in Paris! It involves hellu, a balloon, and pretty windows. I actually get to open @dorico notation software too, to answer questions of @amandaidsounds and Tobias Schick 🤓. #composerinresidence #composerinparis #grantaplication

Composer in residence in Paris #2
In Paris to meet Finnish artists, at least Outi Martikainen, Tuula Anttonen, Kastehelmi Korpijaakko, Hanna Galtat and Mirka Viitala . #composerinresidenceinparis #composerinresidence #composerinparis

A hectic day of a composer in residence in Paris. Week one: some vitamins, negotiating the Requiem contract (thanks @finnishcomposers for the help) and learning French. #conposerinresidence #composerinparis #paris

Some things just need pink champagne by the river Seine

A thought for the weekend: you are going to die! And so will my friend S, but at least he is prepared. We are planning a Requiem to be fully premiered at his funeral, hopefully in 30 years, which is my longest composition process. #Requiem #requiemfortheliving #livingrequiem #artcommission

In #24filmsinayear you can see what I wrote of each film, I do think some of them did entertain and needed a big screen, and I also do think some of them did art and needed a big screen. Dune needs a laptop and a long to series, with better actors and less money for special effects.

Great, if Dunes etc. do something for you and if you can believe, immerse and be interested in these stories, but for me they are just industrialised emotions, not good enough. I’m still happy that I did this experiment and I might do something similar again some time.
March 1, 2025 at 10:59 AM
But the fact is, most films made aren’t that special. They are sometimes entertaining, sometimes the even challenge you artistically, but in most cases, the big screen, loud sound and explosions are there simply to hide the fact that there isn’t that much inside.

So I decided to give cinema a change. With Yorck Kinogruppe flat rate I have seen 36 movies, the cinemas were good and sympathetic and the catalog of the films was mostly well chosen from what is out there.
March 1, 2025 at 10:57 AM
Am I destroying the movies? Am I missing something of the experience? Surely I was. And I have worked in cinema and love film makers like Maria Ruotsala and Anna Eriksson

12 months ago there was discussion of my habit of watching big and dramatic movies from my laptop.

Luckily I’m being all calm and relaxed of the fact that for the next three months I’m staying in Paris, @citedesartsparis ! See you there! But first a quick stop for the carnival.

Kiinnostavaa kuulla ihan luettunakin. Saksasta käsin koitan käsittää, mitä Suomen mediailmastossa on tapahtunut ja tapahtuu. Sinänsä Uusi Juttu on vaikuttanut jokseenkin positiiviselta suunalta.

Berlinale experience: see a film you are allergic to(you feel sick, you fall asleep, or you get a rash) and pose like the star you are! #Berlinale

YAY, I'm getting to Paris and Cité internationale des arts again for March to May. There I composed #mytomato for Olga and #impossibilities for @daisyeek.bsky.social! This time it is getting even darker! Thanks @skr.fi and @vkeynas.bsky.social. #residence #composer #Pariscomposing #11Ways #requiem

Maybe I will need to fall in love and then break up with #GerardGrisey every 10 years. Oh, why did I stop listening to this music? Thanks #musicaNova and Tuuli Lindeberg for inviting me back to him, although I unfortunately couldn't hear your version. #composer #Composerlife
