about

Recorded 13-14 December 2016 in Helsinki.
Released 19 December 2016 by Art First Records.

"Here's more music by Lauri Hyvarinen (see also Vital Weekly 987 and 989) and this is the first time I hear him playing solo. He plays guitar, electronics and objects, according to the hand stamped cover, with very little information. The other side shows a Lego picture and I learned that Art First Records is a label from Helsinki 'focusing on local underground culture' and they have releases by Sergio Castrillon, Experts From The Underground, Ville Vokkolainen & Kusipäät and Jörn Bielfeldt, all of which are new names to me. Hyvarinen has two pieces here, clocking in just less than thirty minutes, and both pieces are quite similar. There is an emphasis on careful exploration of the strings through the use of objects. There is a high level of amplification within this music so a certain amount of feedback rings through these pieces, but it never gets annoyingly loud. It all appears to be on a more subdued level, and that's something I enjoy very well; certainly when the day was already filled with a lot of heavy music. It makes this a rather electro-acoustically inspired release of improvised music. The guitar is never far away, but it is not always recognizable as such; it is more a device to get things going, to get all the gremlins in action, and once that is happening than the origin of the sound is no longer required. All of this works very well, and it's a pity there's only two pieces on this release. I would not have minded another piece like this. I was reminded of the early work of Giuseppe Ielasi and that is surely not a bad thing." (FdW, Vital Weekly 1067)
