The Finnish "Psych Folk" of Lau Nau, Kuupuu, Islaja, and Pekko K�i (WNYC/David Garland)
These musicians from Finland are making unusual music which seems
unconfined by stylistic categories. They don't make a big distinction
between songs and sound-textures, or even between composition and
improvisation. Using voices, zithers, guitars, fiddles and flutes, as
well as electronic toys, simple noise makers, digital delays and other
electronic devices, they create music of hand-made, lacy delicacy and
intense strength. This show features striking concert performances
recorded in Portland, Maine, and New York City, and an interview with
the musicians and host David Garland.
