VAPAAT ÄÄNET: Joakim Berghäll & Adele Sauros + T.I.M. (NO-FR)

This autumn, producer Charles Gilin celebrates his 30th anniversary with Vapaat äänet, presenting two ensembles at a concert in Painotalo. This is the 38th joint tour between Vapaat äänet and the Finnish Jazz Federation, which has continued since 1996.

The duo of Joakim Berghäll and Adele Sauros performs the programme Runoja rauhalle - Poems for Peace: a meditative peace manifesto whose compositions are based on Berghäll's solo improvisation. Anti-war poetry from various conflict zones around the world serves as the catalyst for the improvisation. The melodic motifs were written down as they emerged, faithful to the impulses of improvisation, and Berghäll and Sauros recorded them in Kampi Chapel - thus the album Runoja Rauhalle was born.

T.I.M. is a trio assembled by French pianist Sébastien Palis together with Norwegian singer Karoline Wallace and violinist Inger Hannisdal. The group moves at the intersection of folk music and improvisation, combining acoustic expression with homemade electronics. The songs' narratives are built through a child's perspective, instinctive memories, or for instance an ancient Inuit lullaby. The Hungarian record label BMC releases T.I.M.'s debut album Tall, Infinite, Microscopic in September 2026.
