It's the everyday things that I put into my music. How hard they are to handle, the harder the music is to understand when listened afterwards. When there's no-one around to talk to all that dirt must go somewhere, and in to the songs it goes. My life is not polished, it's not nearly always even fun, it is now also not. But what it is always, it is genuine. At best I don't have a clue what happened to the song, or where did it come from. This is my way, I cannot do it in any other way.
Today I decided to start releasing music in digital format. No matter how much I love vinyls, I've always been very dissatisfied with record labels and their performance, contracts and lack of vision. So I did some research and ended up choosing bandcamp about which I initially heard from Blamstrain. After choosing the way to go I went and remastered my first EP, Mänty, which was released on trapezltd back in 2005 and put it up there and set up a special, cheap price for it too.
Now I'm thinking about putting the next EP, Pöly, up there as well. However, I don't know if they limit the amount of songs I can upload, I hope not, because I think the freedom that comes with being able to choose what I can release on my own will boost my interest in working with music. I've already made plans for future releases, and I will release my album this way in the near future.
So here's my bandcamp page!
I believe in accidents, I believe in sounds coming from outside, from an open window. I trust my bedroom's reverb, and I trust my broken guitar. All the best sounds come from my own recordings, from moments when I decide to insert kitchen utensils between the strings of an instrument and play notes that just do not exist.
Most of my music is written to the people I know or have known. We all change, usually for the worse.
