On 30th of December, just to say goodbye to the previous year adequately, and eager to play in my home country after a long while, I've accepted the invitation from a friend of mine Nenad Markovic, trumpet player and improviser, to play a gig in Novi Sad. It was organized by amazing people behind the name of Improstor Novi Sad . They've started series of concerts of experimental music in August this year, and this was 11th one in the row. So, I started preparing a bit more than a week before the concert, when we determined the date and all.
 
 
At the moment, due to my obsession with TEXT, words, signs etc, I am preparing a live improvisation/mix where the main and most probably the only sound material will be extracted from the sound poetry/vocal improvisation/any other pieces of strictly vocal music.
 
 
Just found the recordings (improvisations) that I made as a material for the film music that I made last year (Haaksirikko - see under applied music). However, I used some really small fragments of it, and the rest just stayed there forgotten for a while. Now when listening, I find some soundings and textures very interesting, although the structure is not defined, since it wasn't a part of a performance or composition.
Recorded at "Arcada" studio in Helsinki, provided by Sibelius Academy which hosted the Film music course.
 
 
This is a piece of music for  video - selfportrait made by Leyla Nasibova@ Media Lab Helsinki.
 
 
This is the recorded improvisation of my practicing for the solo performance at Ptarmigan in Helsinki. Ptarmigan is a place run by Tara Pattenden and her husband, and the best place for experimental music in Helsinki. There are events each week, and many super-interesting artists from all over the world are coming there to play. Check it out here: http://ptarmigan.fi/en/pages/about
