A MUSICIAN is making her way from north eastern Europe to showcase her talents at a performance in Morecambe.
Hailing from northern Estonia, fiddler/singer Maarja Nuut combines traditional dance tunes, songs, and stories with live electronics to create an intricate layered soundscape in a space where minimalism and experimental music meet the village musical traditions of pre-war Europe.
In her performance, Maarja searches for ‘a lively and relaxed state like a cat poised to leap’.
She says this state ‘gives rise to music and makes me want to prolong being in the moment while altering ways of seeing, hearing and perceiving. It is always ‘now’ and old tunes are as fresh as improvisations which were born a second ago’.
Released in Spring 2016, her second album ‘Une Meeles’ explores the boundary between reality and dreams.
It followed ‘Soolo’, released in 2013.
Maarja Nuut plays at More Music in Morecambe Sunday May 21 from 7.30pm.
