Rekitie

Experimental Synth Kids is a collection of ambient musical works composed and improvised by children age 3 to 15. The tracks have been recorded in Louhimo children’s culture center workshops by Samuli Kukkola (Ruusut) together with Jarkko Salo (Oranssi Pazuzu).  

”We brought synthesizers and sequencers with us to schools and kindergartens and taught the kids how to use them. We aimed to create a pressure free atmosphere, where the children with little or no previous knowledge of electronic music equipment could easily make music and sounds together. They were divided in small groups and their improvising recorded for approximately 20 minutes at a time. There was soon several hours worth of material, from which I compiled the 10 songs on the album.”

The album will be released on vinyl as a limited batch on October 23rd 2019, and it’s distributed by Ektro Records. Cover design is by Tomi Leppänen, and the booklet features paintings by children in Pajuluoma day care center.
