Omega 3 resulted from a creative residency with accordionist Tuulikki Bartosik around an abandoned factory in the woods in Estonia. It brings together a large number of sounds made by industrial objects, sounds from the surroundings, accordion sounds, and voice sounds. This piece uses elements of traditional Nordic folk music to present an exploration of the current cultural landscape with its heritage from the past.
