Eclectic Musical Eloquence from Innovative Inspirational Duet : May
Monday : Karen Tweed & Timo Alakotila
This Anglo/Scandinavian duet of British accordion queen Karen Tweed
and Finnish piano maestro Timo Alakotila, received phenomenal praise
and accolades for the artistic grace and beauty of their debut CD May
Monday; part folk, part jazz, part classical inspired, critics hailed
it for its ability to break down musical barriers.
Karen and Timo have now reunited to produce an equally beautiful and
diverse album: Midnight May Monday sees them weaving intricate and
haunting melodies into vivacious and colourful tapestries of sound; bringing
their new compositional work to the fore, whilst embracing melodies composed by the likes of Chris Wood, Andy Cutting, Antti Jarvela, Roger Tallroth and Emma Reid ...plus their much loved traditional repertoire. They've made a speciality of marrying together their different musical roots, styles and backgrounds, their playing so in harmony they make music so
beautiful, that if it doesn't continue to break down those musical barriers nothing will!
If you wish to message Karen or Timo, could you do so via their pages, thanks.
