More Finnish home/psyche from Lal Lal Lal. Keijo, a sold out CDR by Keijo Virtanen is now available as a free mp3 release. Gazingly constructed evidence of singularly focused, eclecticly constructed living room madness. From the cover there seems to be some handmade instrumentation too. Great stuff.
Keijo hails from Jyväskylä, Finland — a small town in the north that claims to be the center of the universe. In the sprawling Finnish underground, Keijo is the wise sage who everyone admires. In his 52 years, he has travelled the world twice and seen his share of turmoil. He was nearly killed in a motorcycle accident and still bears a metal plate in his skull as a constant reminder. But these experiences have been essential in shaping the sound world he constructs with his fingertips.

Keijo’s music is at times impenetrably single-minded, like the direct streaming of one man’s consciousness into musical form. At other times he maps out complete galaxies (“One Night Again” particularly startling for this effect.)
