Performances
A pinch of surrealism, modern folklore and talharpa revival!
The old and the new stick together like water and sleet in Puuluup’s oeuvre. The instruments – talharpas - represent tradition and folklore. The characteristically susurrus sounds of these instruments are sent through effect blocks and a looper. The lyrics and melodies are a mixture of our musical memories and improvisation. Inspiration is often drawn from leiks from Vormsi, Finnish jouhikko repertoire, Sahel’s blues, chastushkas and other elements from the musical traditions from around the world. All kinds of random sources of inspiration are similarly important – unexpected excerpts from Polish TV series, old Estonian punk and sweetbread from Vormsi Island. As a side dish, we also offer choreographic flittering which emerged on its own during the numerous days we spent in the rehearsal rooms.
