"Humans make art. #AI makes some kind of calculations. They’re totally different things.”
In his #Helsinki studio, Juha Mäki-Patola crafts atmospheric, nature-infused music for a UK label that’s credited with ushering in the “post-classical” era.

Flowing into the second century of Finnish #jazz
Without saying so explicitly, Helsinki’s Flow Festival honored the Finnish jazz centenary with a dazzling array of improvised sounds in mid-August.

@tc_morekindness @Tecumseh There's nothing in common with George Harrison's lyrics. The highly original lyrics Jaana Rinne wrote for the Clifters - both for their original tunes and cover versions - were quite controversial at the time.
The title of the song could be translated as "gesture language", and it's basically a song about infatuation. Much of the lyrics sound like stream of consciousness, with references to the hips of Elvis ("which knew how it works"), french kisses and the poetry of muscles. The part you hear as "sun sun sun" is actually "saa saa saa tuijottaa" - although one word is repeated three times, it can be translated as "you can stare" or "you're allowed to stare".
The Clifters started out with original material in the mid-eighties, but at this point in their career they recorded two albums consisting of cover versions of old 1960s hits, all done in similar fashion. According to Jiri Nikkinen's recent autobiography, they would have liked to concentrate on their original material after the first one, but their record company (co-owned by their lyricist, Jaana Rinne) had other ideas.

@Tecumseh An excellent version!
For many Finns, this George Harrison classic is perhaps better-known as the 1989 hit version recorded by a Finnish group, the Clifters:
The Clifters: Elekieltä (live version, 1989)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFCH-UQbcmUMusically, this version is closer to the original Beatles recording than Nina Simone's take, but the Finnish-language lyrics by Jaana Rinne are completely different.
The leader of the Clifters, Jiri Nikkinen, later formed his own Beatles tribute band, which does true-to-the-original versions of the whole Beatles repertoire.

Heard this one on the radio last night - one of the more esoteric Finnish-language Beatles covers:
Humppa-Veikot: Hän sinun on (1965)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUJiTvNu-B4The group Humppaveikot was formed in 1958, first as a studio orchestra for a popular radio show. Most of the musicians were veterans, who had started their careers in the 1930s, playing in the legendary Dallapé orchestra. The vocalist Teijo Joutsela had been a member of a well-known singing group, Kipparikvartetti.
For some reason, their record company, Scandia, decided that they should record Finnish-language versions of two recent Lennon/McCartney compositions:
https://www.discogs.com/release/3640591-Humppa-Veikot-Kaikki-Rakkauteni-H%C3%A4n-Sinun-On
If you're curious about humppa as a musical style, the English language Wikipedia provides some basic information:

The farewell concerts of Eppu Normaali, the best-selling Finnish rock band of all time, are dominating the national news this weekend. The last of the three sold-out stadium concerts is currently being recorded by YLE, the Finnish national broadcasting company, and the spectacle will be shown on the TV1 channel on the Finnish independence day in December.
Eppu Normaali started out as a punk band in the late 1970s, and early in their career, they were witty and fun. I liked them quite a bit back in the day, up until the mid- or late 1980s, but to a large extent lost interest after that, although their music continued to be enjoyed by new generations of fans.
Here's a video clip of them performing live in the early days, from Aki and Mika Kaurismäki's documentary film "Saimaa-ilmiö":
Eppu Normaali: Puhtoinen lähiöni / Let's See Action (1981)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v_MyKNLzAs"Puhtoinen lähiöni" was one of their early hits, a sarcastic description of suburban life, and "Let's See Action" was of course originally recorded by the Who.

Another pick for this week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme, #PunkRock. Here's a Finnish #ProtoPunk classic by the group Virtanen, with lead singer Moog Konttinen and guitarist Veltto Virtanen.
Virtanen: Elektroninen Xtaasi ("Iltatähti", 30.4.1975)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiFQ_sDVJHAVeltto Virtanen later went on to become a member of the Finnish Parliament, but his political career is another (and almost equally zany) story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veltto_Virtanen

This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #PunkRock. Here's one of the Finnish punk pioneers, Pelle Miljoona, and one of his best-known early songs, the title of which roughly translates to "Violence and substance abuse". At the time, he was obviously a man with a message!

Sibelius - Symphony No 3 in C major, Op 52 - Salonen
https://youtu.be/_iPYeALbp50?si=UNFWNfPuH_HjYqrkI love this piece so much, from the bass and cello quirky but energetic folk dance opening to the stirring chorale theme towards the end of the third and final movement.
It's often described as a piece in which Sibelius turned to classicism. I would prefer to describe it as a constrained romanticism, the very lack of grandiloquent bombast adding so much to the emotional power which comes to fruition as the symphony concludes.
For all sorts of reasons, some of them purely personal, I am attached to this particular performance.
I listen to this symphony frequently. Each time I do so I feel a new and better life surge up within me.
I can't guarantee it will have the same effect on you, but do give it a go. It's only about thirty minutes long, so even if it does little or nothing for you, you won't feel a huge chunk has been taken out of your time.
If, on the other hand, it does work for you, then time and time again over the rest of your life you will want to renew that half hour experience .

Another pick for this week's #TuneTuesday theme, #thebubble. This otherworldly early seventies classic is probably a fairly obvious choice for a Finn:
Pekka Streng & Tasavallan presidentti: Sisältäni portin löysin (1970)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP1tcsVoFOUPekka Streng (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pekka_Streng) was still a quite obscure cult figure during my teenage years in the early 1980s. I think I may have read about him in Esko Lehtonen's "Suomalaisen rockin tietosanakirja" ("The Encyclopedia of Finnish Rock") before I actually heard this record for the first time on the radio. I do remember that I bought a reissue version of his second album ("Kesämaa", 1972) at the very first record fair I ever attended, at Lepakkoluola in Helsinki back in 1987.

Sibelius -- Nightride and Sunrise -- Paavo Järvi -- hr-Sinfonieorchester – Frankfurt Radio Symphony
https://youtu.be/WU3MPK8ULQc?si=rxGikb4MaSaGFw7nKMFA just played this piece, but It thought I would post it as I think it is Sibelius at his best in a digestible chunk.
Sibelius is like Kpop in attracting both passionate devotion on the one hand and antipathy and contempt on the other. I'm a devotee of both!

More Finnish soul music! I can't claim to have ever been part of the hipster scene in Helsinki, but I would guess that this 37-minute video provides a somewhat romanticised vision of it:
Bobby Oroza with Cold Diamond & Mink: Rytmi Live! (2020)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFTmPJisg7YIn any case, this is an atmospheric and highly enjoyable performance by Bobby Oroza and Cold Diamond & Mink, who are also the house band for Timmion Records. The highlights of the show include Oroza's version of the old Sunny & the Sunliners tune "Should I Take You Home".
Some background information on Bobby Oroza:

How time flies! I just realised that this classic Finnish-made soul record was issued twenty years ago. For me at the time, these Timmion releases seemed to come out of parallel universe. The video has some nice Helsinki scenery in the background:
