Wednesday the 16th of June in Hörbar:

A lecture and a concert by *Juhani Räisänen*, who has created a new musical
instrument, called *Sormina*. The instrument uses sensors and wireless
technology to play music. Its design is guided by traditional instrument
building.

There willl be possibilities for the audience to try out the instrument
after the lecture and concert.

The aim of Juhani Räisänen’s project is to gain knowledge about instruments
and their impact in the western classical music. His point is that the
material quality of acoustical instruments has had a major effect in the
development of music. The concept of tone quality is historically parallel
to the availability of raw material suitable for instruments.


 The same evening a release of a new CD collection of Sound Art produced by
the Artists’ Association Muu in Finland. The CD, *Muu For Ears 3,* is the
third part of a serie of Sound Art publications. The focus of the new CD is
on the European Sound scene. www.muu.fi/sound

In the lobby of Hörbar a showcase of sound installations from a Interactive
Sound Workshop in Helsinki. Results of the workshop can be viewed at Muu's
facebook address at: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=337547964204


 Outdoor concert by Juhani Räisänen, Saturday 19.6. in Altonale Street
festival.

A performance by *Juhani Räisänen*, who has created a new musical
instrument, called *Sormina*. The instrument uses sensors and wireless
