t.i.m.e. (in Estonian a.e.g., thus the last pitches of the piece) is a fragment from a larger whole in cooperation with Küberstuudio and Monika Mattiesen. t.i.m.e. is the first work, where I united my own picture, text and also music in one work.
the t.i.m.e. video was filmed during a 16-hour shooting day from the tip of the Pakri lighthouse. afterwards the material was condensed into one minute, and yet afterwards this one minute is spread out to 13 minutes.
t.i.m.e. is also the first work where I managed to bring all of my own symmetry-based activities to a stage where I was satisfied. the text and sound material of the work is made up of symmetrically rising and falling structures: in the music towards a chord (which is never performed in its entirety) in the text towards an haiku (which is never shown in its entirety). at the moment of meeting them all the flute player as well as the dancer speak, for a moment, shutting a rift.
t.i.m.e. is a work of time, when everything until that time was complicated changed into something very simple.
Look: Polyphony
