The Immersive Sonic Flow of Finnish Duo Tapani Rinne & Juha Mäki-Patola's 'Open'
Summary: <p>Finnish composers Tapani Rinne (tenor sax, clarinet) and Juha Maki-Patola (keyboards and electronics) skate between jazz, neo-classical, and ambient music, leaning heavily on improvisation and electronic processing for their collaborative album, <em>Open</em>. These two veteran musicians – saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer Tapani Rinne has been releasing records since the 1980’s while Juha Maki-Patola is a producer, musician, and engineer – connected online via Instagram during the pandemic, and began to share files. They talk about reverb, ice-swimming for health, and share some of the Nordic-seeming, spacious, immersive, and stunning results of their music-making, remotely. – <em>Caryn Havlik</em></p> <p>Set list: “Brevity,” “Still”</p> <p>Watch "Brevity":</p> <p>Watch "Still":</p> <p><a href="https://hushhushrecords.bandcamp.com/album/open">Open by Tapani Rinne & Juha Mäki-Patola</a></p>
