Christening — Raplamaa

A christening in Raplamaa usually sits six to eight weeks out, and that timeline runs tight if the venue is a private house or a barn with no resident sound. Power is the first question: what you have on site, what needs to be brought in, and where the generator parks if the answer is neither. After that, the acoustics—wood and glass multiply every voice and footstep, so the PA stays small and aimed.

The drive from Tallinn adds ninety minutes each way, and the crew works to a clock that starts when the van leaves, not when it arrives. Equipment lists close a week before the date, because a rural venue two valleys over from the nearest hire shop offers no margin for a forgotten cable or a blown driver.
