Oh, @daisyeek.bsky.social is in bsky too!
Excited to be at @guildhallschool.bsky.social for the Performance Studies Network conference presenting with dejana sekulic! Yet another round of our hit piece ‘Impossibility of DDMMYYYY’. (Photo from the graduation party the day before)
Opera, theatre and visual art in Paris (and Helsinki and London). I tried to remain in silence.
Some of the artists@tate #louisebourgeois @operacomique @claraolivares #sentinelles @boursedecommerce @legenerateur @dsamuelstern @backslashgallery #janneräisänen .
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.
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.
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
Yay, here is the link to last year's at Kunstuni Graz, including my little talk and the premiere! Thanks, Maria Iaiza, for the performance, and to Organon, Alysse Aska/ @zeithexe.bsky.social, and the whole Zeitschleife for organising! #microtonal #KunstuniGraz
Yay, the recording of my piece „Memories of Songs My Granfather Could Have Sung To Me“ is here!

Thanks @maria_iaiza for a very cool performance and @organon_graz & @zeitschleife_ eitschleife_ for organising it all!
We just published a video of how to do it! Thanks, Sarah, for learning and demonstrating Soune (yes, it took less than an hour!) and Nicholas for the idea of a demo video! Now, let's Soune everybody! With @annikaerdmuthe.bsky.social

www.miika.info/soune/
Have you been to #DarmstädterFerienkurse , #Münchenerbiennale , #Maersmusik, #SibAFest and #HelsinginOopperakesä?
Because graphic Soune notation has! If you want to learn how to read or write it, we will publish a video next week. Thanks, #SarahAlbu, for singing!
Things are changing a bit, and I will need to find a co-working space in Kreuzberg. Writing work (nothing loud), flexible with space, but with some papers and books. Love the idea of sharing the place with creative people.
What do @divineshark.bsky.social @daisyeek.bsky.social @annikaerdmuthe.bsky.social and @juliamihaly.bsky.social have in common? For one, they and dozens of others have performed the Soune notation I developed. Soon, you can learn it with a video we did with Sarah Albu! #Soune #Sounenotation
