New Dancepiece!

Field Sorrel combines poetry, improvised music and contemporary dance. Idea for this piece originates from Panu Varstalas poem Blackbird (read by Richard Stanley). Panu Varstala, Elina Wuetrich and myself made our first dance piece called Roiske in year 2000, after 20 years we come back together, in a way, in this piece. I sincerely hope you enjoy.

I've been trying to get hang of multiple ways of teaching in current corona situation, and one thing is how to make video using original recording and add my own bass playing on top of it. This is my first attempt, Lee Ritenours Rio Funk with Marcus Miller on bass.
