Next up in my “free download campaign” is NeitherSphere ep. It’s my latest release and something I’m personally a lot more fond of than most older material (some of which we’ll return to later on). This ep used to be available for free in a lower bitrate, but now it’s all 320k q1 MP3.
NeitherSphere is related to the album Half Born in Half Light, and the “album version” included in this package is from that album. The 7″ shoplifters mix is somewhat similar to the live version played on the recent concerts. Karni Mata Dub, remixed by Karni Mata (obviously), approaches the original from a totally unexpected angle and, well, kicks ass in my not so humble opinion. :-)
On a related note, check out also the Rathood ep by Karni Mata, also available for free download!
I decided to begin uploading some stuff from the past for free download. First up is a mini-album from 2005, To give light to that which is without.
This release was inspired by and conceived in the post-Living Room limbo, a temporary state of darkness in the middle of the brightest summer. Tracks 1 and 3 were recorded in live performances during Spring 2005. Track 2 constructed from location recordings made in Spring & Summer 2005. Originally released on CDR as a limited edition of 93 copies, hand-numbered, in hand-painted sleeve.
More free downloads will appear here whenever I have the time for it, something every week if possible… Keep an eye on the site if you’re interested and feel free to spread the word & the musick.
Here’s a few photos from the recent visit & performance in Riga, Latvia. Elektra was perhaps the most literally industrial venue I’ve ever visited, being a former Soviet military fur hat factory (and a restricted area); a chilly maze of old concrete spiced up with camouflage, tons of gas masks on the walls etc. Quite an experience! Ovro writes more about the trip on her site, go on & hop over there. Thanks & cheers to Sturm & Älymystö!
As the change of the calendar is at hand, I’ll briefly note that the year 2009 for me has been challenging, illuminating, rewarding, refreshing… and most of this in a rather unexpected or unusual account. Various changes occured, mostly on the level of ideas, habits and attitudes, which is always good. Never let a skin grow too old on you. But I’ll keep it short since the next year wants my attention on various things. Wishing a happy and adventurous new year to all!

It’s -23 degrees Celcius outside. The air is crispy, and the sky clear for the Sun to rise and shine for those few precious hours. Working on some illustrations. Preparing in my mind the live set for Riga.
With Hæretici 7o74, we’re mixing a track for a compilation. We now have two mixes radically different from each other. Each sounds fantastic on their own. Additionally, curious results appear when playing them simultaneously…
Below are some photos from a few days ago. We couldn’t get the dog that far out into the woods at today’s temperatures! No wonder, he’s an Ibizan, anyway. Which reminds me… last night I visited Morocco in a dream, with an online friend I’ve never met in person… or awake. The locals practised an obscure tradition inherited from a pre-desert Saharan civilization to which we, too, were then initiated in.
It’s time for a big cup of hot black coffee.

I’m currently doing background research on topics related to a project I was invited to participate in — topics that reside somewhat far and firmly in the so-called foil hat territory. Suits me fine, and actually further feeds my interest; such a territory is merely a grey area mostly defined as anything that won’t fit the canon of consensus reality. And Consensus Reality, anyway, is a sphincter too tight and rigid to match the Universe as I’ve come to experience it for as long as I can remember. In other words — you think you’ll travel far away and then suddenly arrive to a destination just a block away from home.
MM, if you happen to be reading this — I’m working on it! ;-)

Alkuräjähdyksen kaikuja – uutta musiikkia etsimässä, osa 2
Maanantaina 14.12.2009 klo 23.00 – 24.00
Nykymusiikille on tunnusomaista runsaus ja monimuotoisuus. Musiikkia tehdään monin eri tavoin, ei ainoastaan musiikillisesti, vaan myös teknologisesti tarkasteltuna. Suuri osa uudesta musiikista syntyy eri keinoin ja eri tavoin kuin perinteinen taidemusiikki. Uutta musiikkia etsitään sähkön, koneiden ja elektroniikan avulla. Nyt kuultavassa Ääniversumissa uuden musiikin etsimisestä kertovat eri sukupolvien suomalaiset tekijät: Niko Skorpio, Pekka Airaksinen ja Jukka Ruohomäki. Ohjelman haastattelumateriaali on tallennettu äskettäisessä Uuden musiikin lokakuu -tapahtumassa Oulussa. Tämän kaksiosaisen ohjelmakokonaisuuden jälkimmäisen osan on toimittanut Jukka Mikkola.
