Improvisages-video 3

I added an Improvisages-video here. Ari created the paintings, Jori played keyboards and I blew sax, banged drums and compiled it all together. Music is totally improvised.

Improvisages-video

One more video by Improvisages can be found here. The whole is some kind of story into the problems of scientific enquiry... The name of the video - Uumoilen, lusmuilen, siis olen (= I guess, I'm a bit lazy maybe or then I don't know or I think I go to rest...) - is quite a bit twisted form of the most famous saying of Rene Descartes - I think, therefore I am...

Improvisages

Improvisages played a gig in Saarijarvi. Jori and I were part of Federico Garcia Lorca-evening - our own music, Lorca's compositions and poetry. Jori played his trusty Nord Stage 88 and I had my flute, recorder and acoustic guitar. The venue was packed full. And all was so nice!

Haitari, laulua ja Strapping Young Lad

Today an accordion player/singer visited. And of course I recorded her. After that I sent the audiofile via e-mail to Poland. Just a little bit of waiting and a violin track returned to go with accordion and singing. Fast and easy.

Right now DVD-player in my living room plays Strapping Young Lad. Quite noizy music!

Just finished reading The Quantum Thief written by Hannu Rajaniemi. Very impressive and multi-layered sci-fi story. Thank you very much. - What should I read next? Some Neal Asher - The Skinner or The Technician?
