This extraordinary book, with its interplay of calm and dynamic, goes along well with Pärt’s music. It brings fans closer to Arvo Pärt as a person and will make the uninitiated curious.

Sildre finds exciting ways to graphically depict music that shouldn’t be missed.

Pärt seeks silence in music, and Sildre creates this silence in the pictures.
Gregor Lilla, Élet és Irodalom

Ralf Julke, Leipziger Zeitung
Joonas Sildre employs an imaginative and narrative force in his clear, reduced images – images that exploit empty space in the way Arvo Pärt’s music exploits silence.
