Sshhh
Yesterday.
Susanna and the magical orchestra started the set. Orchestra being Morten Qvenild, and what a great orchestra he is. Slightly weird but a great fun. Really really beautiful set of music and as Morten said a couple of times also a great audience. We kept our mouths shut and listened the songs. The AC/DC cover was the.. not the best but biggest revelation.
After Susanna was In The Country, so Morten again. What can I say, jazz. Very enjoyable, but I have to listen to the albums before I get them. Nevertheless some Truly great moments. Suddenly the drummer takes up the mic and changes the beat totally, Morten takes a piece of duck tape and put inside the piano, on the strings. Then they start this chord progression and all of them start to sing. The same chord progression goes on long enough it to become magical and then the song ends. GREAT.
And the last was Supersilent. Really great stuff. Again the keyboardist was awesome. Actually these guys really work as a live also visually. I mean the keyboardist was so weird, so serious, so funny, really working. The drummer was keeping his eyes closed almost for the whole gig. Electronics guys’ face I didn’t see. Trumpetist who was also playing another set of drums burst out smiling to no one every once in a while. It’s so pleasing to see people working and also enjoying their work. How did it sound? hard to say really. Sometimes noise, sometimes beautiful, sometimes not. But it all worked. And sometimes there was magic too. Only complain I have is that I felt their set was too short. I could have listened a bit more.
I’m so happy that I noticed that gig and I’m so happy that I went. Actually I think that because of this experience I will and go see Jon Auer on tomorrow.
Today I went to see perception score. Maija’s Solo version. I laughed quite a bit. It’s really awesome how she links all her (?) works together. At least in my opinion she does that, and it’s awesome. There’s continituity of some kind. I hope I can see “To the Dance Floor” somewhere. I think I’ll not go to Turku this time. Not sure though.
Today I also got the rowingboat out of ice with the big help of my landlord, and we set the pier to winter condition. I also took stuff here from my father’s. So now I have 16-tracker here and mic and my acoustic guitar. Tomorrow I should do something with them I guess.
Actualy what I should do is work on with “save my breath”. But on that later when it becomes more certain.
Getting to perform to russia seems to be quite confusing. Let’s see.
Later.
