"According to Indian mythology everything was born and will be
born with vibration, sound. What Western civilization calls
music, is narrow, nothing but strictly controlled thread in
that vibrating area. Other kind of threads have been mastered
elsewhere. Inevitably these threads will also face each other
and become one. Basic note chimes in blues, raga and mantra. I
dreamt of musics and players who can modulate with music, no
matter which cultural background they come from û I felt I
understood something about the sounds I sometimes heard in the
evening just before falling into sleep and in the morning when
I woke up."
Keijo Virtanen (Kheta Hotem, Free Players, Rambling Boys)
makes his long distance walk into the stream of
folk/countryblues continuum. These marvellously rusty and
dusty tracks have been cooking with tender flame in KeijoÆs
mind&soul for a good while: "When I was just a little boy, I
used to just lay down under the blanket (just before falling
to sleep) randomly switching the channels of our transistor
radio. Under the crunches and washes I also found the new
pirate radio stations and there, among the speeches came out
the echoing, rhythmic, electric guitar music. Eventually under
rock music and British pop music I discovered the sounds of
the black people of North America. I felt like those deep
singing voices and wailing guitars would somehow also belong
to this kind of environment, to rural, middle-of-nowhere
Finland, surrounded by wildlife and physical work with our own
hands and whatever we may get grown from the land.
Blues was burning onto recordings in JyvΣskylΣ and
Kuusankoski, Finland 2006-2007.
Thanks to Lauri Hartman for burning his guitar."
