Kuldar Sink
Illustration — Kuldar Sink (right), Bahram Mansurov, Eldar Mansurov and Hasan Adigozalzade in Baku in 1978 Kuldar Sink (14 September 1942 in Tallinn – 29 January 1995 in Kõrve, Võru County) was an Estonian composer and flautist. While his earlier compositions were often neoclassical in style and influenced by Claude Debussy and Olivier Messiaen, the mature part of his career was devoted to musical modernism and avant-garde music. Some of the techniques he employed in his compositions included serialism, tone clusters, unified field, and aleatoric music.
