“Fandangos del Bicho o… La Nueva Anormalidad”, a new José Torres Vicente single featuring Karo Sampela is out!

During the lockdown in Spain my pal and mate José Torres Vicente asked me if I was interested in tracking some homemade percussion to his “fandangos flamencos” based song. Of course I was!

The result from my part is made using a salad bowl, our bathroom door, an electric  ventilator played with rods and a parsley pot played with mallets as well as some field recorded samples from a Korean market place and Madrid.

New Joonas Widenius Trio album out!

The third album by this energetic and rockin’ trio is released on Rockadillo Records and Nordic Notes. The record is produced by the great Colin Bass. I am really happy to collaborate as a drummer & percussionist and also specially happy and proud of the detail that there is one song, where Joonas gave me the possibility to record the drums in my own Mo-Chuisle Studios. There has already been some really nice reviews on the album in the Finnish and German press.
