Blow-Fi

ILOINEN EVOLUTIO (2011)


Those crazy Finns.  I bet you've never done a recording session with a team of live videographers and projection, two contemporary dancers, a live "costumer," a free improvising speaker, a free jazz multi-instrumentalist, a chorus and special musical guests.  I can now say that I have, and this is the sonic documentation of this odd performance art project.  The recording features vocalist Ville Kiiski and multi-instrumentalist Erkki Huovinen on guitar, clarinet, harmonica and organ pedals.  Preview and purchase the album on Amazon.

Liedes-Ultan-Huovinen

ICEBREATH (2010)


A 3-day marathon recording session with Finnish folk singer and kantele (plucked zither) player Anna-Kaisa Liedes, Brooklyn-based free jazz violinist and violist Wendy Ultan, and Finnish multi-instrumentalist Erkki Huovinen on guitar, alto clarinet, harmonica and organ pedals.  Clean, dry-ish production and spastic other-worldly soundscapes.  Preview and purchase the album on Amazon.
