Mikko Innanen: Autonomus I - XXX
Mikko Innanen
saxophoneb.1978
The change from his former principle band is dramatic. Since working with two bassists, two drummers and a host of assorted brass and reeds, Innanen here has cut back his ensemble to include now just four players. The music itself is reminiscent of
Albert Ayler
saxophone, tenor1936 - 1970
Innanen's compositional approach was experimental and unscripted, but based around a series of hand-drawn, stave-orientated sketches that he had produced over recent years. His collaborators,
Håvard Wiik
piano
Antti Lotjonen
bass
Peter Bruun
drumsIn fact the division between the three discs seems to be arbitrary, with the 30 pieces ranging from ecstatic to soporific, and spread evenly across all three. As Innanen himself states, "in music, as in life, you need to find a balance between beautiful and ugly, cerebral and carnal, sacred and profane, fun and serious." This selection shows Innanen's and his partners' skills in creating a panoply of intense musical sketches as abstract as the graphics they are inspired by. The tasteful folded packaging by Fiasko Records, not to mention the quality recording, is an added bonus. ">
