Musique d'ameublement
8.8.2010 | 17 - 22 | S/V Estelle, Läntinen Rantakatu 67
5 hour chill-out dj / live hybrid concert by Jussi Soro
What?
Musique d'ameublement (aka furniture music) was an early form of ambient music by Eric Satie (1866-1925) that he described as being the sort of music that could be played to create a background atmosphere, rather than serving as the focus of attention. In this event, I'm trying to create a perfect musical background for evening dusk and for people to have a relaxing 5 hours with friends.
Where?
S/V Estelle is a wind powered cargo vessel, located in front of Varvintori, just between Suomen Joutsen and Sigyn. During this summer, Estelle has been transformed into a naphouse by a volunteer organisation named Hauska Perhe. In the deck there are mattresses, pillows, hammocks, all kind of places to relax or take a nap in. The surroundings are perfect for relaxing and watching the sun set behind the city skyline.
How?
There is no entrance fee. You are allowed to bring your own food and beverages on board, except alcohol. You can play board games with your friends or just lay on hammock. As this is a chill-out event, do not disturb fellow partymates. No shouting is allowed. You are free to come and go as the concert is in process, but I recommend you come in early to take the best spots.
Music?
The music played in the concert will be a dj / live hybrid, with samplers, sequencers and CD-decks. PA system will be high end studio quality, so you will be able to enjoy every diminished note and scent of echo that are in the tracks, even though the music is played at an enjoyable volume. Musical styles will vary from ambient to dub, hip-hop, rock - even pop, but always being chilled.
