HARMONY GARDEN (Soome)
BJARGO (Rootsi)

Kontsert 6. augustil Villaaidas on oma kava, esinemiskoha ja kontseptsiooni poolest erinev samade muusikute kontserdist 5. augustil Hiiumaal salajases kohas.
(Info in English below)

Tänavu teistkordselt jõuab taas Hiiumaale Tumeromantika õhtute kontserdisari, mille eesmärgiks on tuua suurematest keskustest kaugemal asuvatesse kaunitesse kontserdipaikadesse põnevat, keskmisest erinevat ja ilusat - sageli ka melanhoolsevõitu akustilist või poolakustilist muusikat parimate muusikute esituses.

HARMONY GARDEN (Soome)
Harmony Garden alustas tegutsemist 2001. aastal, esimene album “wounded” ilmus 2002 Saksa plaadifirma TRITON alt ja pälvis rahvusvahelist tähelepanu. 2013. aastal ilmus bändi teine album “Fortune’s Fool”. Loole “The ballad of my last day” filmiti video Mehhikos ja see muuvi sai tõeliselt hea vastuvõtu osaliseks.

Tänavu juunis avaldas Harmony Garden oma kolmanda stuudioplaadi „Cold Ground”. See on kontseptuaalne ja bändi senistest ambitsioonikam album. Kogu album on salvestatud legendaarses JJ-stuudios ja täisanaloogselt. Albumi produtseeris Juuso Norlund.

2015. aasta tõi kaasa muutusi bändi liikmetes - uuteks muusikuteks on maailmakuulsa Soome folk-metal bändi Korpiklaani endine viiuldaja Jaakko "Hittavainen" Lemmetty ja multi-talendist kitarrist Tero Mäenpää.
Kaks uut muusikut on toonud juurde väärtuslikku kogemust Harmony Gardeni live-soundi.

Eelmine ja käesolev aasta on olnud bändi jaoks üsna esinemisterohked ning akustilistel pillidel musitseeriv bänd on saanud kõikjal publiku sooja vastuvõtu osaliseks.

Harmony Gardeni muusikat on lühidalt keeruline iseloomustada, bänd ise kirjeldab seda nii: "folgilikud mõrvaballaadid a’la Nick Cave, aga millele on lisatud sutsuke kantrit ja moodsat tumedat elektroonilist kraami nagu Massive Attack…"
Villaaidas Kärdlas tuleb esitusele läbilõige bändi põnevast loomingust ja Eksklusiivsel Tumeromantika õhtul salajases kohas Hiiumaal esitab Harmony Garden oma uue kontseptuaalse albumi „Cold Ground” lood algusest lõpuni, nagu need plaadilgi on.

Harmony Garden:
Timo Väänänen - vokaal, kitarrid
Henri Leppänen - kontrabass
Otto Plym - drummid / löökriistad
Tero Mäenpää - kitarr, mandoliin, harf, vokaal
Jaakko "Hittavainen" Lemmetty - viiul

Tule ja kuula Harmony Gardenit bändi ajaloo kõige paremas vormis!

BJARGO (Rootsi)
Peter Bjärgö alustas muusika loomist juba väga varajases eas. Ta oli kõigest 17, kui ilmus tema esimene EP ta oma bändiga Crypt of Kerberos, ja 1993 avaldas bänd täispika albumi.. Rahvusvahelise tuntuse ja tunnustuse pälvinud neoklassikat esitava bändi Arcana moodustas ta aastal 1994, kui Peter soovis hakata tegema hoopis teistsugust muusikat kui death metal, mida ta senini oli viljelenud.
Pärast 20 aastat aktiivset tegutsemist bändiga Arcana otsustas Peter Bjärgo süüvida muusikasse sooloartistina, ilma kammitsevate piirideta, ja näidata oma loovuse vahetumat külge.
Peter leidis, et aeg on keskenduda millelegi, mida ta on armastanud juba kaua aega, nimelt ämbient muusika. William Basinski looming ja bänd Nurse With Wound, kui nimetada vaid mõned nimed, andsid talle inspiratsiooni alustada omaenda materjaliga töötamist.
Muusika, mida ta esitab, põhineb stuudios salvestatud lindistuste luupimisel ja välisalvestustel.
Hiiumaal esitab Peter Bjärgo kaks täiesti erineva loominguga setti kahel erineval kontserdil.
Tumeromantika õhtul Hiiumaal Villaaidas 6.augustil 2016 esitab ta rütmilisemat loomingut, mis sisaldab endas ka teemasid loost "Collapsing Lights"

Eksklusiivsel Tumeromantika õhtul salalajases kohas Hiiumaal 5. augustil 2016 esitamisele tulev looming on sakraalsem ja minimalistlikum, põhinedes klaveri ja koorimuusika lindistuste luupimisel. . https://youtu.be/9qWz4m8fkB8

HARMONY GARDEN (Finland)
BJARGO (Sweden)

The concert at Villaait on 6 August with its program, venue and concept will be different from the one by the same musicians at a secret location on Hiiumaa on 5 August.

This year, the concerts of Dark Romantic Evenings will find their way to Hiiumaa for the second time with an aim to bring exciting, different and beautiful – even slightly melancholic – accoustic and semi-accoustic music performed by excellent musicians to attractive concert venues away from bigger cities.

HARMONY GARDEN (Finland)
Harmony Garden started as a pure neo-folk project in 2001, first album “wounded” released in 2002 by German label TRITON and it got good response but as it was a project, the band was quiet for a long time. 10 years to be exact. Timo, the songwriter and singer of HG continued to work again with the project in 2012 and first he did a few solo gigs, for example with Spiritual Front and Aliens Sex Fiend in Germany and Finland.

The first release after the long silence was a limited edition 7” single “Sixteen Men” which is now sold out.

In 2013, the second album “Fortune’s Fool” was released. The album was more personal that the first one. Timo used lots of top studio musicians in this album and was more focused on production and also on the musical aspects. The album got good reviews but as music biz nowadays is a bit challenging for acts like HG the album stayed in the dark. One video was also made. “The ballad of my last day” was shot in Mexico, the video got really good response. In 2013 HG got new players and was more a band than ever.

2014 was a quiet year, Timo had some serious health issues and band was on brake for 5 months. Harmony Garden performed only 6 gigs in 2014.
2015 was a busy year with a number of gigs and a short European tour with highlight in Runes & Men folk festival in Leipzig, Germany.
HG was also in studio. The third studio album „Cold Ground” realsed in June is a concept album and definitely the most ambitious album HG has so far done and the most expensive.
The whole album was done at the legendary JJ-studio and is fully analog, without any pro tools fixing. The album's producer is Juuso Norlund.
In 2015 HG had also some line-up chances. Katinka and Vesa left the band by mutual agreement. New players are ex-Korpiklaani violinist mr. Hittavainen and multi talent guitar player Tero Mäenpää.
Two new players have brought valuable experience to HG live sound.
Harrmony Garden will play the best of from different albums in Kärdla and all new album material in order at the secret place concert on Hiiumaa.
HG’s music is hard to explain but let’s try: Folkish murder ballads a’la Nick Cave but it has twist of country and dark modern electronic stuff like Massive Attack…

BJARGO (Sweden)
Peter Bjärgö started out making music at a very young age. At the age of 17 he released his first EP with his band Crypt of Kerberos, and in 1993 a full-length was released. Internationally known neoclassical band Arcana was founded back in 1994, when Peter wanted to make a different kind of music from the death metal he was used to.
After nearly 20 years of activity with Arcana Peter Bjärgo decided to explore music as a solo artist, without boundaries, and show a more intimate side of his creativity.
He felt it was time to focus a bit on something he loved for a long time, Ambient music. Listening to William Basinski and Nurse With Wound, to name just a few, gave him inspiration to start working with his own material.
The music that will be performed is based on tape loops and field recordings.
On Hiiumaa Peter Bjärgo will play two different sets in two different concerts.
On the Dark Romantic Night on Hiiumaa at Villaait he will perform a more rhythmical set, with parts from the "Collapsing Lights" piece.

The secret place concert set will be more minimalistic, based on piano and choir tape loops. https://youtu.be/9qWz4m8fkB8
