A Question of Recording

2020 | Students film, Documentary | Director: Eik Erik Sikk

The short documentary made by director-editor Eik Erik Sikk, DoP Tristan Luige and sound engineer Ralf Schneider creates an insight to the creative process of two Estonian music producers, Sander Mölder and Sammalhabe.

“A Question of Recording” presents a small overview of two Estonian music producer’s creative processes and their personalities: how and why do they work with sound art.
