This is the follow up for the Finnish landscapes soundtrack released
back in the 80s. Amazing stuff!
Anssi TikanmΣki was born in 1955, into a farming family of five
children at HaapajΣrvi in Finland. While at school, he took piano
lessons and, inspired by the rock bands of the sixties, practised the
guitar. During his last few years at school he played in dance and
rock bands, touring the open-air summer dance pavilions of Northern
Finland.
Entering the Sibelius Academy in 1974, TikanmΣki qualified as a music
teacher six years later. While at the Academy, he got caught up in the
folk music revival and training launched by Martti Pokela and attended
courses at the OulunkylΣ Pop/Jazz Conservatory directed by Klaus
JΣrvinen.
In 1977, with fellow students Reijo Karvonen and Esa-Markku
Juutilainen, TikanmΣki formed the Ikaros ensemble. Also playing in the
band were Peter Lerche and Upi Sorvali. Ikaros represented Finland at
the Intervision Song Contest at Sopot in 1978.
Towards the end of the 1970s, TikanmΣki composed the orchestral suite
"Finnish Landscapes" (Maisemakuvia Suomesta). This was premiered in
November 1980 at a concert by Ikaros and the Sibelius Academy Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Jorma Panula. "Landscapes" was also recorded
for television and released on disc in 1981.
Around the beginning of the 1980s TikanmΣki was a freelance composer
and musician in ensembles with such artists as Hector, Arto Sotavalta
and Taiska, and in Young Lovers. During that decade he arranged music
for recording by Veikko Lavi, Harri Saksala and others and was the
keyboards player, arranger and main producer for Juice Leskinen's
Grand Slam.
In 1981 Anssi TikanmΣki got to know film directors Mika and Aki
KaurismΣki and the following year began collaborating with them. It
was he who composed the music for the film "The Worthless" (1982).
This was followed by "The Clan" (1984) and a number of other films
directed by Mika KaurismΣki. TikanmΣki has also composed the music for
feature films by other Finnish directors and for a number of old
silent films. His biggest film project to date has been the score for
the silent film "Juha" directed by Aki KaurismΣki (1999).
Since 1986 TikanmΣki has been the conductor of the Anssi TikanmΣki
Filmorchestra specialising in the accompaniment of silent films. The
Filmorchestra has toured the main Finnish towns and made numerous
appearances in the other Nordic countries, other parts of Europe and
Japan.
Over the past decade or so TikanmΣki has also been composing for the
theatre, providing music and sound effects for, among others, the
Kalle Holmberg productions (in Finnish) of "The Road to Tampere" (Tie
Tampereelle, 1996), "The Unknown Soldier" (Tuntematon Sotilas, 1997)
and "The Long Day's Journey into the Night" (PitkΣn pΣivΣn matka
y÷h÷n, 1998). His most recent theatre production is the musical "Here
under the North Star" (TΣΣllΣ PohjantΣhden alla) for the HΣmeenlinna
City Theatre (2002).
In addition to music for stage and screen, TikanmΣki has composed for
church organ and released a disc of three chiefly instrumental works
for large orchestra: the "Finnish Landscapes" already mentioned, "Old
Photographs" (Vanhat Valokuvat, 1984) and "Pizza" (1994). Anssi
TikanmΣki's "A Traditional Pop Record" (Perinteinen Pop-levy, 2001) is
a record of pop-rock songs sung in Finnish with Sakari Kuosmanen and
Tarja Turunen.
