SUMMARY:jaZZanti concert: Harri Sjöström’s Mother's Delight - Special G
 uest: Veli Kujala
LOCATION:Hakasalmen huvila
DESCRIPTION:Jukka Kääriäinen: guitar and effects Libero Mureddu: keyboar
 ds & electronics Heikki Nikula: bass clarinet Harri Sjöström: soprano an
 d sopranino saxophones Veli Kujala: quarter-tone accordion Mother’s Deli
 ght first performed in 2023\, and after that initial concert it was immedi
 ately clear that the project should continue as a stable\, working ensembl
 e. The quartet’s unusual instrumentation brings together two wind instru
 ments — soprano saxophone and bass clarinet — with two electric polyph
 onic voices: electric guitar and physically modelled piano. This distincti
 ve setup gives rise to a wide and constantly shifting sonic palette: from 
 Sjöström’s complex yet deeply expressive melodic language\, to Nikula
 ’s command of Western contemporary music and extended techniques\; from 
 Mureddu’s deconstructed and morphing piano textures\, to Kääriäinen
 ’s unique ability to merge distorted noise with fragile micro-sounds. Ae
 sthetically\, the music synthesises the overlapping yet distinct backgroun
 ds of the four musicians. The sonic radicalism of Kääriäinen and Sjöst
 röm intertwines with resonances of Western contemporary music shaped by N
 ikula and Mureddu. Beyond stylistic categories\, the core of Mother’s De
 light lies in its commitment to depth\, openness\, and a sense of joyful\,
  unpredictable musical discovery. Internationally renowned accordion virtu
 oso and composer Veli Kujala will join Mother's Delight for an exceptional
  evening. He is a long time collaborator of Harri Sjöström\, as member o
 f the Windows and Mirrors project with Giancarlo Schiaffini and Sergio Arm
 aroli\, and is regularly invited to perform at the Soundscapes Festivals. 
 Moreover\, he frequently performs with Sjöström as a duo. Kujala is as w
 ell member of Libero Mureddu's bands Hexad and Septad. Photos: Sakari Puha
