Kuparisepän Verstas

Weaving wistful, introspective lyrics into a densely layered landscape of samples and sonic textures, “The Itch” interrupts reality and inserts an altered state of being—outside consensual time and space—in the here and now.
 
If reality posits a stable relation between body, consciousness, and environment, “The Itch” longs for its reversal: An oscillating movement, floating without ground, piecing reality back together through melodically recurring memories. In another register, one would call this desire. In yet another, the virtual.

Personal Horizon

For the February 2024 edition of Romance Relic's Windbreak show, they invite a Portuguese musician Canadian Rifles (Rui P. Andrade). Known for his musical and curatorial output via the Eastern Nurseries label and musical releases floating between ambient and noise, most recent being a collaborative album with Lisbon-based artist Aires (Bruno Perreira). Canadian Rifles presents a mix reflective of his recent contemporary sonic inspirations.

i made myself bigger ears from clay to hear the ghosts that roam the island. they certainly had something to say about loss. isosaari is heavy with its military history—bunkers and installations, a torpedo. several empty and haunted buildings, tombstone, the stone base of russian barracks, german casemates and a mass grave of the reds from the civil war.

in the forest, shadows lingered in tangled roots and loss was woven into the fabric of ground. this island is a strange testament to what remains.

’a soft plea, we seek freedom. we all navigate grief’s landscape. but for liberation for the living, you need to hear those who are alive’, the ghosts said.

Is it really necessary? If you inventorise your interiority, do you conclude that it is truly needed? Does it enrich your life? Does it advance you? Does it bring you in touch with something higher or perhaps more fundamental, pre-verbal, primal, real? Does it bring you to the dirt, the mineralised mulch from whence life springs, from which perhaps the first doddering molecule of our ancestry formed? Yes? It's aircode's 'No Need To Know', premiered by Madjestic Kasual then, presumably, is it not? It is? It is. Proceed. It's necessary.

On 'Susiovet', the second full length as W, Eero Pulkkinen reimagines conventional composition techniques and explores the uninhibited possibilities of choreography within musical arrangement.

Across the album’s ten titles, Pulkkinen carefully extracts sounds out of the cacophony of an imaginary cityscape and places them under a magnifying glass for a closer examination. Sounds are frequently solitary and distant, like the communications of an unknown species or a distant star, urging the listener to focus on the smallest detail. The serene, glass-like ambiance is interrupted with Musique Concrète-esque bursts of unruly noise, that represent the erratic surroundings of Helsinki’s Kurvi neighbourhood, where Pulkkinen recorded the majority of the music. 'Susiovet' challenges the nature of structure, repetition and arrangement in music; themes are explored in minimal fashion, barely enough to portray a flickering image of a scene - often barren and desolate.

Created at studios in Helsinki and the EMS in Stockholm, where Pulkkinen had access to a rare Buchla system, 'Susiovet' is an intriguing entity of contrasting realms; virtual and concrete, the familiar and the unknown.
