A Shield


Performance at AAVA2024

Posted at: 2024-09-16 11:43:19

On 21st September (Saturday) I will perform at AAVA art exhibition/festival, organised already for the fourth time on the Porkkala peninsula by Pursu ry. At AAVA, works of art are displayed in a natural setting, along the hiking trail of Porkkala.

I took part in the festival for the first time last year when I played a set of my songs at the end of the hiking trail. Among others, I played this song inspired by AAVA which I had written the night before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaZNA8oY61U

This time I will perform songs which I wrote especially for this event, for a short audience-inclusive play of Loviisa Lassila and her alter ego Polina Wolfgang. The songs will tell the story of the play and serve as the soundtrack. The play moves around the themes of the relationship between the human and wild nature, the wild nature in the human and the relationship between nature, the wilderness and wildness in art.

The play is about 20 minutes long and will be shown at 3 pm, 4 pm and 5 pm.

In this video, Loviisa talks about the project:

She recorded the performance and the recording was too good not to share.

Out of over 20 songs, she chose 10 and the live album is now available on Bandcamp.

Welcome to listen and perhaps add it to your music collection, or get it for someone as a gift!

Last Saturday Catself performed at AAVA 2023 art exhibition organised by Pursu ry.

The day before Catself wrote a song inspired by her thoughts about the exhibition and what works might be displayed there. She included the song in the set and you can watch the video below:

Catself's style is quite different from the rest in the genre. No love songs or (love) sadness and other clichés, but songs about nature, dreams, mermaids, hitchhiking in Spain, fishing and fishermen, drunken Finns, runaway cats, hit deer, bunnies struck by the lightning and the Apocalypse. All this accompanied by herself on guitar, which was for the second set exchanged for a piano. She kept the audience breathless and captivated till the end.
