Ensemble Evolution had a fun concert this weekend at Palmgren Conservatory in Pori, Finland. The highlight for me was our performance of one of my pieces, a nice theory, with the percussion students there and Janne Tuomi from the Osuma Ensemble. We got a great review in the local paper and Maria took a video of my piece! We have to thank Toni Hietala for setting up the concert and all of his support.

Here’s the video of a nice theory.

And here’s the review by Kaija Huida for Satakunnan Kansa: (the review is also online, and the Google Translated version is here)

Ensemble Evolution is on a mini tour in Pori, Finland. I gave a seminar and performance of my music for mobile computer and percussion today and we have a concert tomorrow at Palmgren Conservatory, including a performance of my piece A Nice Theory. Then driving back around the Baltic to Piteå!

I was involved in “Sikt”, a project directed by Malin Hülphers in Stockholm this week. Anders Åstrand, Sanna Hodell and Fredrik Strid well performing as well. I ended up having a few roles… setting up the PA and mixing as well as some sound design and performing on laptop. A lot of fun with great players!
