The event is being moderated by Estonian Public Broadcasting journalist, film maker and start-upper Jüri Muttika.

ESTONIA

Ülo Krigul

A contemporary composer with a passion for film composing.

Over the past 12 years he has worked on rather diverse genres and styles of film extending from experimental animations and shorts to full length feature films. His academic education acquired in music academies in Tallinn and Vienna allows him to deal with both sophisticated large symphonic orchestrations and modern sample based electronic soundscapes. Therefore, his soundtracks are sometimes quite unconventional atmospheric blends of acoustic instrumentation and custom-made samplings.

His continuous collaboration with inter- nationally acclaimed Estonian director Veiko Õunpuu has brought his film music to the most prominent festival programs both in Europe and the States.

Besides that, he is constantly busy with commissions for music festivals and orchestras both in Estonia and beyond. His first opera “Swan Bone City” was premiered in 2016 at the Saaremaa Opera Festival.
