The music for this 40 minute long documentary is made using my voice as the main instrument. The director, Mervi Junkkonen, wanted a natural and heartfelt atmosphere and what could be more appropriate than the human voice. In other parts instruments like m'bira/thumb-piano and Tuvan khomus/jew's harp provide more of the earthy and warm feeling that the film inspires. The most important job I had was to make music that could capture the character and moods of the film's subject, Saana herself. The production was full of challenges and lessons learned and killing-my-darlings, as this was the longest film that I had made music at that point. And that's what made it so much fun. |
