VERDE & CLAY FIGURE - Kalliopora

It all started with a newspaper ad. On the morning of April 3rd, \r\n2004 I was reading through a local newspaper. There I saw an ad \r\nwhere some store sold rock drills that they had got from Swedish \r\narmy surplus. On the evening of the same day I was in another town \r\nto play my first gig as the guest bass player for Verde. I told Mika \r\nof Verde about the hilarious ad that I had seen in the paper. We had \r\nalready recorded most of the material for the this collaboration, \r\nand Mika suggested that we should name the collaboration \r\nalbum Kalliopora", which is of course Finnish for rock drill. Then \r\nhe started fantasizing how he would buy one and drill his way \r\nbeneath his neighbours house and set there a bomb. This recording \r\ndoesnt sound much like a rock drill or even a bomb. Instead, there \r\nis the unique sound of Mikas self-built synthezisers, a bunch of \r\nguitars played by yours truly, and all kinds of other sounds that I \r\nhope you all like, even if they dont sound like rock drills. - \r\nPekka PT/Clay Figure.
