about

A collaboration between Finland's mystery-man Uton (Jani Hirvonen) and Italy's Valerio Cosi - recorded by these two prolific musicians (coming from two different worlds) in July/August 2006 and released on Fire Museum Records/Kaleidoscope Gang (USA/GR - respectively CD/LP editions) in 2007. In Steven Tobin's words: "on Käärmeenkääntopiiri, Uton and Valerio have mastered a sound that combines elements of psychedelia, free jazz, krautrock, environmental sounds, drones and more for an ecstatic listening experience. A mélange of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, sounds here collide and join together as naturally as the coming of the tides. By turns meditative and forceful, introspective and extroverted, all the while commanding undivided attention from the listener. This is experimentation that remains inviting even in its darker passages."

"Cosi is a master at bending tones and meshing multiple instruments and styles into a cohesive unit. Layers of guitars, horns, percussion and more create everything from whimsical pop to sprawling, esoteric drone" (FoxyDigitalis)
