@blanca_regina and
@martiguillemciscar & Cheslav Singh
Inspired by a journey to the Estonian island of Hiiumaa the artists wanted to explore the island in search of places where nature, folklore, and traces of human activity intertwine and found places steeped in folklore and history, forgotten remnants swallowed by nature.
The album tracks reflect these multiple layers: the melancholic seascapes of Sääre Tirp, the electromagnetic waves of Ristna Antenna, the military ruins of Tahkuna Patarei 1 and 2 and the legend behind Kurisu. The field recordings and nightly sessions recorded at Hiiumaa became the foundation of the album’s sonic world: a slow, breathing space where the sea, the wind, and memories dissolve into ambient soundscapes
Varm & Correia compose ambient music inspired by nature and its interplay with human presence. Their music reflects these contrasting elements, using field recordings and synthetic sounds. They often perform in a nature setting: Purekkare Cape; Tallinn Botanical Garden; and Tartu Botanical Garden (part of Tartu 2024 European Capital of Culture). They released their debut EP Live at Purekkari Cape in 2023 and the album Hiiumaa in 2025.
