They had circulated around mutual circles for some time before coming together. Jonna had jammed with Katri a few times before they got together as a group. Katri had been playing with Heta for a while, but none of them can recall exactly whose idea it was to start playing together as a trio. A usual weekend evening would end up in a rehearsal space playing and hanging around. Most of the music is on cassettes which you can only listen to at my place.

Arttu Partinen. Arttu Partinen has been making music around 15 years now. In addition to playing music both in Finland and abroad, he has been active bringing experimental artists to Finland and encouraging local people to start making music and organizing events. First he did a live studio recording in front of an audience at Elementstudion and then opened for Eartheater at a Koloni concert in Folkteatern. Both shows got a rave reception. Parts of the recording of the Elementstudion session just came out on a seven inch record. In his performances, he creates high-speed collages, combining noise dynamics with slapstick moves. As sound sources he uses found tapes, his own recordings, world music cassettes, nature sounds, human voice, processed live percussion etc. Each new show can end up being deconstructed and used as a platform for the next concert.
