Chance Meeting
Friday December 20th, 2024 with Heavy Ben
Ultraääni Records

Chance meeting on a basement of roots and a pulse Ultraääni Records is a record label operated by visual artist Arsi Keva basically from his basement located in Tampere, Finland. "Ultraääni" in Finnish is "Ultrasound" in English. Keva founded this ongoing project to collaborate with musicians, to help his friends to get their music published, and to make records that are unique art objects. The numbered editions of the records published by Ultraääni are small, usually from tens to a few hundred. Along with making unique objects, the hand printed sleeves and small editions are also a practical solution. Ultraääni Records has been active since 2016. The label started out publishing experimental rock, folk, dub reggae, electronic, hip hop, psych, and in recent years has focused on jazz, funk and avant-garde. Arsi Keva has designed album covers for labels Jazzaggression (Greg Foat), RR GEMS (Soft Power), Fnr (Misha Panfilov), Helmi Levyt (Tiiu Helinä), and Afro7 Records (The Scorpios). Further deep dives on Ultraääni Records are planned for In A Mellow Tone (jazz) and Rabble Without A Cause (avant-garde, improv). https://ultraaanirecords.bandcamp.com/music (to embiggen the show icon, right-click and choose "Open image in new tab")

Hey Napalm Dan, yeah the Ville Pirinen Combat School track was garagey-psych with some electronics. Glad that you have time for a chance meeting today over more work meetings.
