Improvisaation with string instruments made of branches and roots of different trees found in the forest – mixed with old electronics by Jukka Nousiainen and friends.
I used to live in Sastamala in the old school house surrounded by old forest (now sadly cut down) and collected some branches that wind had blown off from trees and made my own kind of string instruments from them, calling them KÄKKYRÄs.
Then one day I was visiting a house in Nokia where some old man had died recently and it appeared that he had collected LOADS of this kind of big branches and also roots so I took them all home and made some more instruments. I love old 50's-60's electronic music, made with signal generators and tapes so here they go together, sounds of the old forest and sound of the past modern times. Electric forest..?
