X är diskussion om instrumentbyggande och en liten vinstund
Eero Palviainen & Jarkko Niemi
Eero Palviainen builds his lutes and guitars himself – not to mention case contraptions and a folding neck. What’s it like to play on instruments of your own making, does it make it easier to find the sounds you’re looking for? Jarkko Niemi in turn is a luthier who has received a grant from the Finnish Cultural Foundation to research the possibilities of using Finnish wood to build violins. It is fascinating to listen to the conversation between these two gentlemen, sipping on the glass of wine that is offered to the audience. The discussion is the X in the concert pair Eero x Eloisa. Therefore, X = discussion about instrument building with a glass of wine on the side.
