Musaa ja matkailua

I've been quite busy lately. Lots of work with photos. I've been choosing and fixing pics for the next Improvisages concert... Now it's done.

What about music? Well, I added these to my iPod - Flying Colors (their first and just released CD), Ian Anderson's Thick as a Brick 2 (You know Jethro Tull?), Emilia Lajunen's Turquoise Bicycle ( Modern Finish Folk Music...) and some of my own stuff...

Tomorrow Sini and I are going to Tallinn, Estonia. Jan Garbarek Group with Trilok Gurtu is performing there on Saturday. Nice, very nice!!

Huiluja ja Dead Beat Society

Some of my recorders and other small woodwind instruments. - Dead Beat Society rehearsed in Jyvaskyla. Veery nice! There's a concert coming. (Juha H.)

Lunta sataa

Snowing, snowing. Spring is not here - at least  not yet. Snow and sleet all day long. (Juha H.)

Renaamista ja keikkaa

PasuunaPelimannit performed in a concert in Sumiainen. There were some other orchestras, too. And I was  also  part of an other group -  well, an add on or something like that. I received the sheet music at the venue just minutes before the gig. And thus quite big part of my playing was prima vista.  All in all music was quite alright.

I sent a video of Antony Parviainen Trio rehearsing here. Their drummer was not with the band because he had just left. The other people -   Jopo, Torsti and Artsi -  just happened to be there.

Antony Parviainen Trio

Antony Parviainen Trio rehearsing at our place today, just moments ago. It's a trio with five musicians. This time their drummer Aki was not here. Just before the photographing he'd left for home. Later today the band is going to play a gig nearby. Sini and I are going there to see and hear the trio LIVE.   (Juha H.)

Ian Anderson ja Jethro Tull

Finally I got hold of these! Ian Anderson's sequal to Jethro Tull's  Thick As A Brick  -  TAAB2.  Plus Prog Rock featuring Anderson. Time to listen to some music!! (Juha H.)

Piirustus

Yesterday I found some drawings and water colours I draw and  painted some 30 plus years ago. Above one of them. Today I created a video based on those pics and a piece of music I wrote and recorded some weeks ago. The compilation can be found here. (Juha H.)
