Kaukolampi
Inside The Sphere
Finland
 
A short film by Perttu Saksa accompanies this video single for the new solo album by K-X-P frontman Timo Kaukolampi. Released on Glasgow's Optimo Music, the new album of the same name takes the sonic wanderer further afield and over many hills before settling back down to the familiar home. The music Inside The Sphere was written about being under the control of outside influences. When others control what you see, when you see it, and in what order, you can be made to think all kinds of things. It’s as if someone is making a private enjoyment film and they’re casting you as the lead without telling you. As the metaphysics of it go, a symbolic and metaphorical exploration may help create walls of energetic protection.
 
A waft of synthesiser shimmers from the depths, eerie and mysterious, the tones rumble and shuffle with bubble like bursts. A gradual opening of the valve allows more abstraction of sound to flow until an eventual pouring of tone ensues. A wandering melody begins to turn on a sixpence as the forthcoming atmosphere falls in around us. Distant gonk drums clatter in rhythmic steadiness as drapery synths continue to flutter in the breezy energy. Slow moving, like treacle, the music gathers pace and motivation over the distances crawled by persistent little steps forward.
