Who is architecture in helsinki

An event space in the middle of Helsinki, the Finlandia Hall is designed by Alvar Aalto and most known for its iconic white tower that provides a superior acoustic quality for the concert hall below it. Unlike other iconic buildings of its time that were built out of a darker, local granite, Finlandia Hall was constructed out of white marble that Aalto sourced from the Mediterranean. A post shared by The National Museum of Finland kansallismuseo.

A significant example of Finnish National Romantic Style, the National Museum is best known for its ceiling frescoes, inspired by the national epic Kalevala.

The building itself is characterized by its entry tower detailed with grey stone, red brick, and copper roof. Widely considered one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world, this building designed by noted Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, is noted for its use of Finnish granite and beautiful clock tower with intricate copper detailing.

In , the clock tower was significantly damaged in a fire. A post shared by Juha Tuomi tuomijuha. The church is planned around a greek ross oriented in the four cardinal directions and characterized by its use of columns and 3 copper domes.

And all the relationships we have with other artists that are possible just by file sharing and using computer software for the recording rather than tapes.

We use tapes in the studio sonically, but all the editing is done on computer. Yeah, this is true. A lot of people are saying, as far as a video budget, people are just watching them on YouTube anyway and everything is compressed to hell so a lot of labels have stopped spending as much money on videos, except for Kanye. So did you find you had to create different visual angles for representing the band?

Not really. A lot of us met at art school in Melbourne and it was more of a technology-based art course, so it sort of tied together everything we do. I look at music and art and video as being all tied together to make the artist or the band.

When we first started out Cameron did the artwork for the album and we had friends do the videos. Being in a band is a whole cultural thing. Only the thing with the cucumber at the airport. We come from the school of the romance of buying a record and staring at the cover and being immersed in music as a beautiful thing. It just feels more disposable than ever and I hope people can hold onto it in that passionate, romantic way that seems to be not defined at the moment.

Like in many areas of life, the whole haptic aspect of life, haptic and interchangeable. Part of me is like a real old fogey, dismissive of having your whole music library on your mobile phone and watching TV on something like that.

Helsinki is about as far away from Melbourne as you could possibly think. So why on earth? No [ laughs ], we were petrified. It was like meeting someone, a child we were meeting for the first time 20 years later. Oh yeah, totally. We turned up in the town having no idea what to expect. Australia is an incredibly isolated country.

From a young age you look at America and Europe and they seem terribly exotic and far away lands to us. Any more uninteresting questions because these guys need to soundcheck and all those really uninteresting things of being on the road?

Coffee, coffee, coffee. Yesterday we were in Ann Arbor in Michigan, so I searched that and there are posts of people arguing about which Korean is good and who does the best barbecue. Chowhound is how I infiltrate different cultures, and their foods. Yeah, OK. We havent really gone deep into the discussion of the music industry at the Academy so far. But I mean overall. OK, thanks a lot. Because it can totally get you down. And the second one is you mentioned the Mad Professor before, do you have a mix from the Mad Professor, did he do a remix or?

Oh well, I guess the band started out So after a few months of writing music I decided I was going to try and get together a band to play the songs I had written. So there are a lot of remixes of your tracks, have you done any remix packages for download or any acapellas or stuff that we could remix.

Yeah yeah we can hook you guys up, whoever wants any parts, we have four tracks of our new record up on an FTP. If anyone wants to talk to us afterwards we can give you the details. So you might go and shake hands first and you know. But yeah, before we let you go on to your other commitments maybe a song or two from the first album to send everyone off? This is a remix that we did for a Brazilian group called Bonde de Role. We just did this a few months ago, so this is an example of a remix we did for someone else.

Yeah that was the steel drum recording 30 minute solo, we cut a little bit out of it for that track. Yeah, um, this track which is the last thing we are going to play you was a remix we just got a few weeks ago from a UK, amazing freak artist called Max Tundra. This is a remix he did of our latest single And please give a warm thank you. Academy: Toronto Hosted by Torsten Schmidt Audio Only Version Transcript: Torsten Schmidt Good morning, everyone, just fresh off the night liner, about half or two-thirds - mathematics was never my strong point - please give a warm welcome to Architecture In Helsinki.

James Two. Torsten Schmidt Just two? But there used to be more, right? Torsten Schmidt So the whole slimlining thing has come to Australia as well. James Yes, economic rationalism. Torsten Schmidt Now this whole collective thing with loads of members and interchanging projects seems to be a pretty popular thing in Australia and New Zealand.

Gus Southern air. Torsten Schmidt Before we go into greater detail, can you introduce yourselves and give us an idea of what you do within the formation? James Forever. Torsten Schmidt So when do you actually get to do your music? Torsten Schmidt So there you are on the tour bus all the time time and all these people who theoretically could do all these different things. Torsten Schmidt And then go into all the bits and bobs?

James Yeah, just how we got to the finished idea through the various demos and all the recordings and whatever. James We have no idea how familiar people are with our music. Cameron What we would do would be to play all the influences on the production and the song and all the background behind the song and then play the original demos, then phase two, phase three, then the final track and some of the remixes and collaborations that have been done.

Torsten Schmidt Start from the beginning. Cameron This track started out, it was just something we came up with just walking down the street or whatever. Torsten Schmidt That was quite a while ago. Torsten Schmidt Writing a track is not exactly a cooking show.

Torsten Schmidt Why did you leave Fitzroy in the first place? Cameron Just a change of scenery, a new creative challenge, I guess; to be making music in a new environment, new city, new people. Torsten Schmidt How many people were involved in the recording of this demo then? James Pretty much everyone. James About a couple of hundred. Cameron Yeah, it takes a lot of people to move it. James It has a lot of percussion. Cameron He did laugh when he heard them. James He laughed at us a lot.

Cameron It was a pretty amazing experience getting this guy to record these steel drums. Torsten Schmidt Those are muscular speakers. James Yeah, they sound great. Cameron No physical violence. Torsten Schmidt When you say you meet them, are you actually sitting down with them or just exchanging parts?

Cameron A bit of both. James Sometimes that helps stay friends. James We smell a lot. James Yeah, Discover America. Cameron Warner Brothers pumped so much money into the making of the album [ Song Cycle ], and when it came out it was so unaccepted by mainstream standards. Torsten Schmidt What I was leading to is, you got all this work going into the actual recording for people to listen to, may it be on headphones or nice little speakers. James In Switzerland. Torsten Schmidt Yeah, Switzerland might do it.

Gus We have an amazing mixer, amazing front-of-house guy, who brings everything together amazingly well. Cameron He takes longer than any other front-of-house guy in the universe.

Torsten Schmidt Will you go on at tonight instead of ? Cameron Yeah, exactly. Torsten Schmidt Now, the way things are going over the last few years is maybe beneficial for you to a certain degree. Torsten Schmidt So just a bit of time for a spot of shoegazing now and then. Cameron Throw things at them. Torsten Schmidt Have you ever had things thrown back?

Cameron Yeah, we usually get pelted. Torsten Schmidt Is that synched in anyway? Cameron No, vibrations. Cameron Coffee and tequila. James And Tupperware. Torsten Schmidt For sandwiches? James No, cables. Cameron We have some pretty ridiculous systems. James For example, we have all our cables with colour-coded cable ties and they all go into a matching coloured bag with our initials on them, so on stage we know every cable is in the right place.

James I feel we may be boring the hell out of everyone. James Can we play some music to wake everyone up? Finnish plastic-free paint company Cover Story has opened its first shop : a "paint studio" fitted out by interior designer Linda Bergroth to offer customers multiple ways to explore colour.
