Ühel päeval pöördus minu poole belglanna, kes mingisuguse Euroopa programmi raames tegi siin Eestis lühifilmi. Film oli Prangli saare elust ja olust. Ilusad pikad stseenid, veidi romantilised koos sügiseste värvidega. Kui me esimest korda kohtusime, rääkis ta, et soovis saada oma filmi Arvo Pärdi “Für Alinale”, kuid kuna Pärt oma muusikat igale poole nii naljalt panna ei lase ja selle eest üsna kopsaka summa tahtis, jäi kaup katki.

Tuli välja, et Dominique oli äärmiselt kirev inimene. Rääkisime pikalt reisimisest ja muust. Temalt oli lihtsam küsida, kus maailma otsas ta käinud poleks. Ka nüüd mõne aja pärast ütles ta, et reisib varsti Senegali. Peale selle oli ta suurepärane fotograaf ning mängis klaverit õhinal, kuigi ta seda kunagi õppinud ei olnud. Ta lihtsalt improviseeris kuulmise järgi. Ta lasi mulle isegi enda salvestatud klaverimuusikat, mida ta küll väga häbenes, kuid mis minus positiivset vaimustust valmistas. Ühesõnaga, äärmiselt mitmekülgne inimene.

Talle meeldis minu “Season” klaverile. Vaja oli veel üht muusikalõiku, mis läheks filmi algusesse. Siin see on – “Prangli” klaverile. “Seasoni” vaimus tehtud. “Meisterdasin” talle kokku vist 15 muusikalõiku, üle paarikümne minuti muusikat, millest kasutamisele läks paar minutit.

One day a Belgian turned to me. She was making a short moveie of Pakri living and livelihood. The scenes in the film were long, slightly romantic with autumn colours. When we first met she said she wished to get Arvo Pärt’s “Für Alina” to the film, but the deal failed since Pärt doesn’t put his music to anywhere and asks quite a lot of money of it.

It appeared that Dominique was really versatile person. We had a long chat about travelling and other subjects, it seemed like it was easier to ask in which part of the world she hasn’t been. She mentioned she was about to go to Senegal. Besides that she was a great photographer and played piano enthusiastically although she had never studied it. Although she was ashamed of it, she allowed me to listen to her music she recorded. It made me positively admiring. In a word – she is a very wide-ranging person.

Dominique liked my “Season” for piano and she needed a piece of music for the beginning of the film. Here it is – “Prangli” for piano, made in “Season” spirit. I composed about 15 pieces, more than twenty minutes of music, for her of which she used couple of minutes.
