Introducing Salu - close up soundscapes

[RichardinNL]

Was intending to buy Tallinn today. Very curious what the addition will be on this already exceptional orchestra.

Wonder to hold on to buying because it also will be discounted?

 

[Marsen]

Perhaps a wind quartet - flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn and bassoon

You mean English horn?

 

[Jett Hitt]

You mean English horn?

Why would he mean that?

 

[Marsen]

Why would he mean that?

I thought about only woodwinds.

Edit: Forget about my comment. Wasn’t aware of this quintet.

 

[Zanshin]

Yeah, French horn like in a traditional wind quintet. But I’d be happy for any winds recorded in the same space really.

Edit: Forget about my comment. Wasn’t aware of this quintet.

It is odd nomenclature for sure.

interesting. I just bought and am currently working with the atmospheric strings and main organ in Tallinn (the choirs didn't interest me as they don't sing text). Very curious what you have up your sleeve!

 

[FrozenIcicle]

Maybe it's an actual update to Sine as well adding in more choir functionality

ChatGPT will crack this mysterious teaser in 3...2...1...

I got ChatGPT to open up a bit about the new library:




(I feel required to emphasize that this is parody.)

AI FTW!!

I could be wrong, but I think the trees in the pictures are an important clue. My first guess, it's not a brass library.

A medieval library?

They've a lot of medieval musicians in the old town up there. So, something like Miroire/Rinascimento but in a older periode? Would be awesome

 

[Vik]

My guess is that both Tõnu Kaljuste and the great Indian restaurant in/near Tallin's old town are involved.

This could be the winner with all the trees and shit

 

[musicalMind]

Should be interesting. Love the Tallinn library n the whole concept behind it.

 

[PaulieDC]

The original post said they would announce it "next week". Is that this week?

Even if it's not, some day they just have to do it... The city name literally means Danish-castle. The geographical location could be ideal for a broad and diverse "medieval" library. You could throw a lot of "medieval styles" in there, and it would be fitting. With the age of the city itself, you could also go waaaaayyyy back in time... And as I said, you would literally find amazing medieval musicians in Tallinn. Furthermore, I just have my doubts, that they can spend time in the old town without an emerging thought of making a medieval library...

Salu is an Estonian surname, denoting a small group of trees, similar to 'grove' in English.

Hmm, Aarne Saluveer founder of the Estonian TV Girls' Choir, perhaps?

Conductor – Estonian TV Girls' Choir

And has connections to Pärt, I think




This would be (to coin a phrase) very exciting!
