Published on my feeble Weebly page an essay I wrote about improvised music of AMM, for their latest record, Aura. Scroll down for the photos, made with my cell phone, of the actual printed booklet that comes with the CD. "Cuckoo or quirky", as K'naan song lyrics have it, I don't know either.

Coming up at the Sibelius museum in Turku 14.3. Judith Hamann will perform their piece Desire paths for cello and four channel tape, as well as an acoustic set. Not to be missed!
