String Theory by Tiit Kikas
Tiit Kikas’s first solo album features only the violin as a companion. Journeys through the combination of electric violin and electronics create new sound worlds. Tiit Kikas plays the violin with fingers, a sampler, an e-Bow, a looper, and many other technical means, thereby making his own contribution to the theory of strings and chords. In addition to Estonia, the album was also released in Finland and Japan and quickly found its way onto the shelves of ambient music fans and into radio stations around the world. The music from the album has been used in the soundtracks of several films and choreographies.
