The Finnish "Psych Folk" of Lau Nau, Kuupuu, Islaja, and Pekko Käppi (WNYC/David Garland)The Finnish "Psych Folk" of Lau Nau, Kuupuu, Islaja, and Pekko Käppi
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.
