2025 – Week 14
Lemminkäinen’s Death
I recorded five acoustic piano notes, played into MOOD MKII, forming a delicate micro loop. This fragment was then processed through MOOD and Onward. What you hear is an unedited excerpt from a twenty-minute improvisation—an unfolding manipulation of the loop in real time. To this ambient foundation, I layered Cantos 14 from the Kalevala, beautifully read by Phil Schempf. Thank you, Phil, for lending your voice and presence. Painting by Akseli Gallen-Kallela.
