"Elio" and What Could Have Been
Elio could be seen as fantastic piece of representation, showing lonely children who feel ostracized that they are not alone. That is, unless you look behind the curtain.
Mother Earth
Maaimäis a music video made in collaboration with the renowned Estonian musician Mari Kalkun. Maaimäis a song from Mari Kalkun's new album Stoonia lood, released in September 2023. It talks about the contradictory relationship between man and nature. With the evergrowing world population, Mother Nature can hardly carry the burden humans have become. Climate change, overpopulation, habitat loss for wildlife, and loss of species diversity are concerns that affect and speak to all of us, regardless of our geographical location. Musically, the song is a multi-layered piece that blends together traditional music and electronic sounds. It is sung in Võro, a dialect from south-east Estonia.
