TOTAL VIOLIN by U T O N

Violin improvisation recordings from 2007, mostly from November (only the first track is from October, and even in its last day). Tracks 1 & 2 previously released on cassette "Violin Massage Vol. 2" (OMS-B, 2008), and tracks 4 & 6 on cassette "Violin Massage Vol. 3" (Cabin Floor Esoterica, 2009).

Recorded in Monninkylä (Askola, Finland). Mastered in February 2025, Turku, Finland. All sounds and production by Jani Hirvonen.

--- These recordings are continuing the style of Violin Massage album, which was recorded in India, earlier in 2007 (and released on triple-CDr). Total freeform exploration, and not even trying to follow the rules of music. --- More likely just getting out from all the written rules how the music should be, and to write the rules again with updated information. (Of course this type of free improvisation has been existing already much earlier, so nothing totally new was not invented with these recordings. But the angle is fresh). ---
--- The main thing on these improvisations is the freedom of expression, in a frame which a violin gives, together with the inner pulse and intention to dive deeper into the unknown (or forgotten and buried spiritual realms), sometimes (or mostly) in a very stubborn way. --- It may not be easy to listen, but give it a chance, and let's see what happens.
