Something has crept upon my neck like Peter Parker's radioactive spider as it bit his hand to make him not only give spidey-senses, but become the Marvel hero, Spider Man. This radioactive spider has landed upon my knees to give my ears another challenge. It has opened the door to reveal one of the most mind-blowing artist to come out of Finland, Iro Haarla and her Electric Ensemble. Iro not only can play piano and the harp, but is also a composer and band leader. She had studied those two (piano and composition) at Helsinki's Sibelius Academy and jazz improve with Heikki Krzysztof Penderecki, and Arvo Part. She taught herself to play the harp who her late husband Edward Vesala gave her ideas about the instrument. She has composed music from the UMO Jazz Orchestra and has released albums from various labels on TUM and ECM Records. Last year, Iro has delved her toes into the waters of the progressive rock genre on the Svart Records label. Her new band leads the charge with synthesisers, world music, acoustic instruments, space-like sounds, and snarling guitar exercises. The Electric Ensemble considers Ulf Krokfors on bass, Aniida Vesala on drums, Sami Sippola on tenor sax, and Jukka Orma on guitar. What Will We Leave Behind - Images from Planet Earth is a tribute to mother nature, and our home planet itself.
