Special Stuff 2004-2010

Almost all ten bonus cassettes are now recorded. Quite exhausting job as my tape recorder isn't at its best.. Here's the song list, from oldest to newest (different order in every cassette):

These 10 unique cassettes are already reserved for vinyl purchasers! The songs won't be available anywhere else so you small amount of people can consider yourselves lucky.
However, you still have to wait for the actual demo as it's is still in the mixing process. But it'll be finished sooner or later, don't worry! And good things are worth waiting for, or what they say.. If you're interested in obtaining a copy of the upcoming demo in c-cassette format (numbered edition of 20, price 5€), send us mail to kktactics(at)gmail.com


Oh, we had also our 2nd improv theatre rehearsals last week. That's exciting stuff too!

K+K + improv theatre stuff

Hi Fans!

Today we had a bizarre experience with Jani. we were asked to play improvised music to a group of actors in their rehearsals. Even more bizarre was the fact that they were also improvising every moment of their scenes. We used three different kind of approaches (as we were teached by the experienced actors).

First we played as sensitive as we could, trying to add depth to the improvised scenes. I think that is the most basic form of combining music and acting.
Second one was the first plus improvised, short songs whenever someone from the audience clapped. The clap stopped the scene and all actors had to sing in the theme of their most previous sentence they had used. I especially loved a song about "washing a corpse" on top of a funky groove.
Third one was called "film noir". It is supposed to have a gentle jazzy approach to it, and sometimes in the middle of acting any actor could jump in front of others (stopping the scene for a moment) and doing a "narrative sequence". For our playing, we made a special repeated part (improvised of course) for the "narrative parts". Other parts were basicly done as descriped above.

We really didn't know what improvised acting was all about. Now we know. It is definitely interesting. And cool. And have we mentioned before; we really love playing improvised crooked stuff!

Yours,
Jarru & Jani

Bonus cassettes

Hi,
I just started making some bonus cassette covers for vinyl byers. We're gonna put different song order to each copy and I decided to make the covers a bit more special with typewriter. Had slight problems with the machine resulting 4 covers in about an hour. Luckily there's only 10 cassettes coming, hah.

And good news about the actual demo; I just got the shakuhachi part for Random Mega Force! Salutes to Erkki! Now just some final mixing and mastering and we're done.

Here's some pics and a video from the cover session:
