RL-018

Recorded September 2016.
Released by Poop On Tape & Rypistellyt Levyt.

"Junkka-Poika & Stokastinen - something Finnish, do you think? So it is: behind these pseudonyms lie guitarist Lauri Hyvärinen and electronics engineer Teemu Korpipää. The release is released by joint efforts on small labels of each of them. Cool color scheme: black with pink packaging and gold cassette. Luxury!

Music is smart: it has the same nerve, which is called, for want of a better term, a drive. Lauri operates an electric guitar in its best imperial sense: jerky passages, jumping from one subject to another, skillful use of effects. Teemu is in charge of electronic stuffing. Okay, everyone got ready, that it will be a noisy-rustling texture? Or long, clean sines? No, here we are dealing with the deconstruction of drum and bass and the directions of rhythmic electronic music bordering on it. I remember the great Derek Bailey and his album with the DJ, but that conceptual attempt by me personally was never perceived as successful from a musical point of view. Yes, an excellent concept, an idea - call it what you want. But listening to that release and trying to take it by heart, not by the brain, it did not work out. Looking at the reasons for such an attitude, I come to the conclusion that the matter is in the electronic stuffing: it is static and immovable, while Bailey is trying to do this and that, and to break into those rhythms that hears. These confrontations and tensions are almost physically palpable and interfere with listening to music.

And so, listening to the cassette of Lauri and Teemu, you just forget about that release, when you taste exactly the duo of impromptu guitar and rhythmic electronics; So cool and, most importantly, it's easy to play it. The big merit of Teemu is that he plays with samples, knows how to do it, how to change the sound of samples and react to Lauri's passages. After all, you can often hear electronic musicians who improvise with acoustic instruments: as a rule, electronics can not keep up with the idea of ​​acoustics, there is not enough reaction. The Finnish duo showed that all this is possible and, moreover, with a spark! I strongly recommend to fans of improv."
