Willow. - Improvisages rehearsed with a choir. Very much fun. Every time when Jori and I play music  - there's some or more improvisation involved. (Juha H.)

Maisema ja Dead Beat Society

Scenery, Lake Keitele. -  Dead Beat Society rehearsed today in Jyvaskyla. Veery nice! There's a concert coming with Improvisages later this Spring. (Juha H.)

Maisema ja Improvisages

Wintry scenery, Lake Keitele. - Improvisages met again. We talked about the coming concerts and other happenings. There's going to be some music performed with a choir, some music with a drummer and then some with other musicians plus of course with paintings... and  photos.  Dates are more or less set  but  what we do in every occasion is not so clear. But that is not so important - we are going to improvise!  And today after planning and discussing  we improvised some music. Very nice!! Juha H.)

Kaisla ja sen varjo

Reed and its shadow. (Juha H.)

Joutsenet ovat palanneet

Swans have come back! Most of the lakes are still covered with thick layers of ice. But those big birds are back. So nice. - I recorded Sini's singing, mixed the music and sent the file to Poznan, Poland. Internet is so handy. (Juha H.)

Kävyt

Cones. - Today I compiled a new CD. Most of the music consists of backing tracks of videos I've made during some 5-6 years. Some of the original videos can be found here. And of course the music...  (Juha H.)

Musaa

Maija P was here. I recorded her reciting poetry - once again. Some hours of work and a whole book of poems was done. Later I'll add some of my music to go with the words. Actually the poems where quite good. Unfortunately it seems that the whole is for more or less private use. Time will tell. (Juha H.)

Keitele

Lake Keitele this morning. Bright days of March are here again. All evening I recorded music for Sini to sing. (Juha H.)

Majava

Beaver.  - Last night Nightwish performed a mighty fine gig in Jyvaskyla. And of course Sini and I were there and all our three kids were with us. That was even better than good music!! (Juha H.)

Petra

Petra, Jordania. Photos of our journey to Middle East  can be found here.   (Juha H.)

Raunioita

Ruins from Capernaum, Israel. Sini and I are back from our journey to Middle East - Israel and Jordania. We saw  rain, sleet, sandstorms and history so layered... All in all everything was very interesting and enlightening , very much so. (Juha H.)
