Kadri Voorand Trio

Virgo Sillamaa - guitar
Taavo Remmel - bass
Kadri Voorand - vocals

 

The trio, consisting of the guitarist Virgo Sillamaa, bassist Taavo Remmel and Kadri, came together to write music for Estonian poetry, creating an intimate setting using simple melodic approach, often following the rhythm of the lyrics. The music leaves  a lot of room for improvisation, sometimes even freely improvising a totally new song at the concert, still creating mainly tonal pictures to suit the topic in a poem. While one could hear some connection to estonian folk tradition, there's also the use of different elements of world music and colorful harmonies reminiscent of jazz or even impressionism.  The songs are composed so that the music and the poetry are equally important, not one being an accompaniment to the other, but rather forming a new world of sound and meaning.
