LAUANTAI // SATURDAY
PIHALAVA
23.15-00.00
Kun orkesteri on riittävän pieni, se soi homogeenisesti sisältäen kontrasteja ja yhtymäkohtia sopivassa suhteessa. Bill Hota tarjoilee poikkeuksetta musiikillista draamaa myös kolmannelle korvalle, sillä orkesterin lähestymistapa sallii käytännössä minkä tahansa elementin ujuttamisen musiikkiin. Mausteita heitetään pataan kaapin täydeltä ja vaikka kokonaisuus kytkeytyykin ennen kaikkea traditioon, se harppoo samalla suoraan etuhorisonttiin. Paketissa on kiihtyvää, energiatiheyttä kasvattava dynamiikkaa ja ennen kaikkea atakkia; Bill Hotan sokaisevassa keikkasoitossa on suurta temperamenttia, mutta samalla hyvin epätavallista yksinkertaisuutta. Elegistä tunnelmointia tai muhkeita iskurytmejä, ne nousevat aina siivilleen kipakkana piiskauksena folkornamentein tatuoituna; Say it loud; I ́m folk ́n proud!

When an orchestra is small enough, it can achieve a homogenous sound with just the right balance of contrasts and common ground. Bill Hota is guaranteed to serve musical drama to engage the third ear, as the ensemble’s highly open approach enables almost any type of element to infiltrate their music. A truckload of spices is thrown into the mix, and although the overall experience is strongly tied to tradition, the band somehow manages to speed towards the horizon at the same time. The package contains intense dynamics, increasing energetic density, and above all a powerful attack: Bill Hota’s blinding gig playing is delivered with roaring spirits but at the same time with unusual simplicity. Whether you hear rhapsodic ambiances or earthy rhythmical attacks, his music always manages to take flight, covered in folklore tattoos and whipped into speed. Say it loud, I’m folk and proud!
Kyösti Järvelä – viulu, laulu // violin, vocals
Juma Lautamaja – kontrabasso, laulu // double bass, vocals
Arttu Mäkelä – kitara, laulu // guitar, vocals
