SamiKlemola:Ground

The Other Sound
00:00

Sami Klemola is a composer whose diverse and extensive output is driven by a curiosity regarding the different forms of sound. Ground is a meditative exploration of immateriality, composed for microtonal electric accordion, live electronics, and audio tapes. The composition contains the idea of impossibility. The microtonal generality distorts reality and the movement of the tapes playing in the background of the soloist never reaches its destination.

The work is performed by Harri Kuusijärvi, one of the most distinctive figures in new accordion music. Visuals are by Arttu Nieminen.
