***************************

chik white is the alias of Nova Scotia-based artist and improviser Darcy Spidle. While best known for his work with the jew’s harp, his practice has expanded to include voice, nose flutes, horns, harmonica, guitar, and video. He has released numerous albums on international labels such as Kraak, Notice, Feeding Tube, Full Spectrum, Chocolate Monk, and Sound Holes. His collaborators include Bill Nace, Xuan Ye, Colin Fisher, Daniel Tapper, Naomi McCarroll-Butler, Chad VanGaalen, Sam Shalabi, and Bekah Simms.

Slice, Lisa Holmén and Monia Kimara play noise together with various instruments, languages, improvised voice, good food and fresh spring spirit. Expect madness, hilarity and boisterous tones. The group assembles for the first time together in the form of the triangle with their backgrounds from multiple musical groups, visual arts, performance art and dance.

Amon Düde‘s music used to be high-tempo cut-up tape collage. He utilizes collapsing cassette players, carefully crafted tape collages and obsolete effect devices. He is a kind of a full body theremin, as every vibration of the body has a direct effect on the music. The same goes also the other way, the sounds in turn guiding the body movements. With tapes, coincidence always has a huge role. The decaying equipment and aging human body also play a key role. Amon Düde manages to create a unique balance of razorsharp dynamics and slapstick humour.

Chambers is a group sound art exhibition that contemplates the porous architecture of bodies. These works engage with the concept and matter of bodies as permeable and even fragmentable structures that hold, change, transmit, and transform.

Featuring artists Mira Laine, Una Seppälä, Ava Imogen Grayson, and Andre Vicentini, the exhibition brings together sculptural, sonic, and spatial practices that attune to interiority, fragility, and emergence.

Tammikuussa 2025 Eero Savela lähti pohjoisen talvesta tekemään Atmosfärg Travelogue -äänitaideprojektia (kuunneltavissa myös Areenassa). Ajatus oli yksinkertainen: matkustaa, tavata muusikoita ja äänittää ensimmäiset yhteiset äänet ilman suunnitelmaa.

Le Havressa syntyi spontaani sessio kitaristi Guillaume Gargaudin, klarinetisti François Lebèguen ja pianisti Jean-Paul Buissonin kanssa. Ei yhteistä kieltä, ei valmiita kappaleita — pelkkä tila, sointi ja kuunteleminen. Musiikki alkaa ensimmäisestä äänestä ja menee sinne minne menee.

Tästä sessiosta syntynyt levy ‘Puu Maatuu’ julkaistaan nyt yhdysvaltalaisen Right Brain Recordsin kautta, ja kvartetti tulee Suomeen soittamaan levynjulkaisukeikat.

Musiikki on eurooppalaisen vapaan musiikin perinteestä ammentavaa akustista soittoa, jossa tärkeintä on soundi, tila ja reagointi. Jokainen keikka tehdään alusta — eri huone, eri akustiikka, eri suunta.

Khôra & Eero Savela – Album Release Tour in Finland

///

In January 2025, Eero Savela left the Nordic winter behind to work on the Atmosfärg Travelogue sound art project (also available on Yle Areena). The idea was simple: to travel, meet musicians, and record the very first sounds together without a plan.

In Le Havre, a spontaneous session took place with guitarist Guillaume Gargaud, clarinetist François Lebègue, and pianist Jean-Paul Buisson. No shared language, no pre-written material — just space, sound, and listening. The music begins with the first note and goes wherever it goes.

The album that emerged from this session, Puu Maatuu, is now released by the US-based Right Brain Records, and the quartet will tour Finland with a series of album release concerts.

The music draws from the European free music tradition: acoustic, open, and based on sound, space, and interaction. Each concert starts from zero — a different room, a different acoustic, a different direction.
