Kuvaus
This is the second solo album by Jarmo Romppanen, published by Ääniä Records of Finland. Romppanen is one of the leading mandolinists in the Nordic countries. At the moment he´s creating a new style of playing, never before heard on mandolin. The music on this album is influenced by Finnish-Karelian kantele and bowed lyre playing, by the Swedish triplet-polska tradition and by North-American Old Time music. There are long legato melodic phrases, lots of slurs, fast runs, melodic variations and improvised parts between the themes.
This is a studio live album, recorded completely solo with no overdubs or edits (except fades) on it.
