Liu-ti & Kai-Niana
by Octavian Balea
The story of a composer and his moments of inspiration. Pasi wrote a couple of years ago a magnificent piece for accordion solo, called "Vuo". When I asked him what did he mean with this, he just nswered me in a very direct and semi-confidential way: "I just wrote it in Vuosaari" (an island in Helsinki, where he used to have his artistic residence). I thought it might be an interesting experience to actually see that place and to discover what might have been the source of inspiration for such a powerful piece of music. Going there alone didn't quite make it, so I asked him to come with me. That didn't work either, so I asked one of the very few accordionists who actually performed this piece to join us.
It was the wind that made it special. The sunny wind of Vuosaari.
wow, great portraits
