Tuned To The Real World for kantele trio

This is a trio for clarinet, viola and piano performed by TampereRaw ensemble in the art museum Willa Mac, Tampere, Finland, September 2012. The occasion was a concert organised by composer Paavo Korpijaakko, as a gift to the museum for its many years of dedication to the contemporary music. The concert was the last public event hosted by Willa Mac. My trio is inspired by two sides of the Spanish painter Joan Miró's art, the infinite silence in his Landscapes and the colourful, vivid view towards the world.
