JUHO TUOMAINEN
Juho Tuomainen is an ambient guitarist who creates improvised atmospheres as a vehicle for meditation. The event celebrates his latest work "Improv_Loops_Vol.1", that will be published on 21st of February by Oneiric Tones.
The dreamy, live-ambient EP release features three unedited atmospheres, each improvised in a single take. As the first volume in an ongoing series that explores the electric guitar as a self-sufficient soundscaping tool, this work invites a calm and contemplative state of mind, making it a perfect complement to relaxed interior spaces or moments of deep reflection.
Tuomainen's calm and contemplative sound reflects his feelings on the impermanence of the human condition, as well as his affection towards the delicate nature of Japanese aesthetics.
With a creative use of a looper, he likes to build imaginary environments, while letting the music breathe and speak for itself. Through his music, he wants to bring us back to our innermost questions and remind us that we are here only for a short while.
On December 15th 2024 Tuomainen released his first single.
TEEA AARNIO & WILSON TANNER SMITH
Teea Aarnio and Wilson Tanner Smith represents a delicate meeting of many musical backgrounds across improvisation, electronics and interdisciplinary performance. The duo met during year 2024 at the same time that they played live together for the first time. They were introduced to each other during an improvised music performance, facilitated by Sergio Castrillon.
On Friday they will again meet on the stage to share an improvised musical conversation.
Smith is a cellist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist from the contemporary and free jazz/free improvisation communities of Chicago, with a sensitive approach to sound and space, often creating work for site-specific performances drawing from the latent sound, historical, and cultural associations of a given place and moment.
Aarnio is a global-facing Helsinki based vocalist-composer, improviser, songwriter, activist and interdisciplinary artist. She combines voice and electronics with creative use of loopers, and her works draws inspiration from the various never-ending decolonial processes, tightly related to f. ex. musical aesthetics. Aarnio worked for ten years in a professional soundpainting improvisation orchestra and her trilingual folk fusion debut album 'Väki' was released 2023.
