'Music for pedestrians & fellow citizens'

On 5. of May the Bull in a china shop launches a project at the center promenade of Järvenpää, called Music for pedestrials & fellow citizens (Musiikkia kävelykadulle ja kanssaihmisille). It is a work of enviromental sound, consisting of improvisations pre-recorded by the Bull & organized into order (each one lasting a week) by a random cd-player. So it is a month long musical piece, that can be heard in Järvenpää from 15.00 to 18.00 on weekdays, a which is in interaction with it's enviroment, and works as a communicator between the people and the imaginary, with a sort of trancendental aspect to the every day life of the base, a call for dialogue, a stage without actors, where in fact the pedestrians become the main characters of a drama with no cathartic inclosure in the sense of a plot. The piece also evolves in the new creation of music for each week, so it's a work in progress of four weeks, and sheds a different light to the (indifferent) life of the center promenade & 'passagens' of trade & commerse (in a interpretative way of Walter Benjamin) of Järvenpää, ascending a context of it's own, against which everyone is to sustain theirs, in a way approaching the trancendentality of music & sound championed by Charles Ives.
