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

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.

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

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

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

Today, someone answered my French email in English.
Then, started studying the subjunctive mood. All in all, not a great day in my process of understanding at least one chapter of "La Vie mode d'emploi". (Still love @vkeynas.bsky.social 's translation, though)

First time to compose every single word of a language before. Sure, it is a language with less than 150 words, but still. #tokipona #composerlife
