"Everybody always wants to be there not here – it’s the law of humanity. But it’s nice to be here and I like to be here. I don’t want to look out too far because otherwise I will lose what I have here. I guess it’s step by step and we’ll see what the future brings." (Siim Nestor, Areen, Eesti Ekspress, 2008-02-29) (ENG version)

Since around 2000, Michael has focused on score and soundtrack productions for feature films, TV and documentaries. His experience is based on both classical knowledge, with orchestral and ensemble-work at its centre, as well as contemporary and popular music. Michael has been using his creativity in music production for films - producing, engineering, editing, mixing and a little composing as well. Some of his career highlights include collaborations with film director Francis Ford Coppola, composer Howard Shore, Richard Harvey, Osvaldo Golijov, rock band Arcade Fire and Icelandic pop artist Björk.
