Original soundtrack created for Henna Kaikula\u2019s spectacular visual performance in Italy 2008, Helsinki 2009.<\/p>\n

I, along with set designer Jegi Pekkala joined Guy Dowsett<\/a> and Henna Kaikula in residence at Inteatro\u2019s<\/a> Villa Nappi in Polverigi, on the Adriatic coast in Italy. In the two month 2008 residence we created a performance based around Henna\u2019s breathtaking handstand and contortion acrobatics. All the music was composed and recorded on site by Guy and Me. As well as the set, Jegi created a vast array of video imagery which he triggered and tweaked live during the show behind and in front of Henna\u2019s movements.<\/p>\n

We took the show to Helsinki in May 2009 where it was further adapted and refined. The selection of tracks below are a summary of the music we ended up using in the show. Also, a very reduced film of the performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
