Shamanistic orchestra called Tervakello.

[Tervakello]

Tervakello (crudely translated as tar bell. Tar bell is a wooden instrument which was played before lighting up a tar-burning pit (tar grave). Also used as an alarm during the burning process of tar-burning pit) is an orchestra using mainly traditional instruments. The basic instruments are Udu-drums. With Udu-drums the Tervakello conjures up a shamanistic, constant sound scenery. Also the wind instruments have especial role in the music. Tervakello's music is based on improvisation and ambience.

Tervakello's first album was released in 7.5.2004. The album was recorded at Tytyri mine museum in Lohja, Finland on the 110 meter level.

Hi John!

Thank you for your interest in the Tervakello. I am sorry it has taken this long before answering to you.

The album has collected a average interest, it is ordered via internet every now and then. One reason is that we don't have a international distributor.

There are downloadable samples taken from the album in: http://www.mikseri.net/www/play.php?type=dl&id=89366 and http://www.mikseri.net/www/play.php?type=dl&id=89368 (both can also be found from www.mikseri.net/tervakello).

Sure I could send a copy of the album to you, but I need the address.

-h.
