about

This 20-minute "album" contains four simple live improvisations; they are like different sides of a blade and as imperfect as my moods that keep changing. All the bits and pieces here have been produced using a cigar box guitar (with a processor), which is connected to a loop station. These short "reels" are then played live using the station and its mono output is recorded. These results remain completely unedited, rough and instant. These are merely glimpses of time: "these pieces just appeared as they were and then faded away".

released December 15, 2022

All music created and recorded live using a fretless 3-string cigar box guitar (Hobo 63), a guitar processor (Boss GP-10), a loop station (Boss R-505) and an audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett 4i4).

The album cover is based on a photograph by Noora Kommeri (adapted with permission). Special thanks to Lauri Nykänen for his support and encouragement.
