   About Kimmo Pohjonen
NEWS:

The new project of visual performance artist Ville Walo and Kimmo Pohjonen entitled Rautakeuhko "Iron Lung" makes its premiere at Verkatehdas, Vanajasali in Hämeenlinna, Finland on December 1st and 2nd. The hour long music theatre performance features Walo and Pohjonen and over one hundred accordion bellows with all new music composed by Pohjonen.

KTU'S SECOND ALBUM entitled Quiver is released in Finland by Rockadillo Records on February 4, 2009 and throughout Europe in March 2009 by Rockadillo/Westpark. Disk Union will release Quiver in Japan on March 20, 2009. The American release is on May 1 by 7dMedia.
KTU (pronounced "K2") is now a trio following the departure of Samuli Kosminen in 2007. The new album Quiver was recorded at The Zone studios, Dripping Springs, Texas in 2007 and 2008, production by KTU, engineered by Pat Manske. Additional recordings were made in Seattle and Helsinki. The album was mixed by KTU and Petri Majuri at Seawolf Studios, Helsinki in autumn 2008 with additional mixes of three pieces by Steven Wilson at No Man's Land Studios, UK. All music was composed by the various band members and arranged by KTU. Samuli Kosminen provided additional percussives and sounds.

Olá Kimmo, parabéns pelo belo trabalho.


A música Lei de Murphy ganhou o 1º lugar no Festival de Santa Maria.


Ela foi interpretada pela Carol Voigt. Gostaria que visitasse myspace.com/srtavoigt e desse "aquela força" para ela.


Muito obrigado, abraços e bom fim de semana.

Dear Mr. Pohjonen ...

... Surely, all the time, you get words of admiration ... and you deserve them! My words certainly will be a heap more! But you made me an instrument resume stay in my childhood and back to the roots of my Nordic ancestors. His music makes me feel at "home"! Thank you!

Sincerely:

Let us present a little comment,
That in this very particular moment,
Presents happiness for lack of rejection
That turned into invisible connection
Of ThiSpace and ThaTime friends
One so sturdy, that it never ends,
And a little video it sends...
