I – The Dark Hallway II – The Abyss III – The Mirror IV – Away

Göreme for guitar and tape continues my long-term cooperation with guitarist Patrik Kleemola – over the course of seven years this is the fourth work I have written for him. For me it’s always a great experience to work with distinguished musicians such as Patrik. Their genuine interest towards contemporary music and comments on our work are very important and enchanting for us composers. When it comes to speaking of my own compositions, I wish not to describe the backgrounds of my works in any further detail. Göreme was commissioned by Patrik Kleemola and is dedicated to him.
Additional Information: The premiere performance of Göreme was given by Patrik Kleemola, guitar and Markku Klami, electronics at Sibelius Academy Concert hall in Helsinki on September 26, 2009.
