The Trio’s second album, titled Arktik Traktor Konspirazy is officially out today 30.9.2016 on Rockadillo Records. We had a blast recording this at Global Music Centre Studios, Helsinki, Finland with the great engineer an person Ilari Suonpää and we are really proud to have the great collaborations by magnificent artists, the Jazz Piano great Iiro Rantala and Ilkka Heinonen, a master of a Traditional Finnish Bowed Lyre called Jouhikko. As far as it goes to drumming, I´m really happy to count with such a nice instruments as Saari Drums and Dream Cymbals on the tracking of this album. They both really suit to natural acoustic environment and always respond so naturally in different musical situations.
