HATE TEEMU MÄKI

Leena Krohn

Keeps on her pages a good archive of public, mostly hateful, criticism that targets me and my work.
The kind of stuff that I would not bother to collect myself, so I'm grateful that she does.

MUSIC

My iTunes
I love music. I have thousands of CDs and many of those I've imported to my iTunes as well. For the music lovers and the curious: here is the list of albums in my iTunes.

Do The Math
The Bad Plus Blog written mainly by the pianist of the trio, Ethan Iverson. In principle I hate the very idea of blogging. I'd rather want everybody to keep their half-baked diary scribbles to themselves. Life's too short for them. But this blog is a rare exception to the rule. Healthy reading for jazz buffs that already know the Penguin guides, All Music Guide and Blue Note, Impulse and Columbia liner notes by heart.

European Free Improvisation Pages
The largest archive of info about European free jazz, online since 1995.

Morton Feldman
Chris Villars has collected nice pile of info and links about the great minimalist on his page.

FMP
The most important free jazz record label of the last 30 years.

Downtown Music Gallery
For Bill Laswell enthusiasts.

Muslimgauze
Remember Bryn Jones (1961–1999), and the many faces of his electronica: ominous, brutal, longing, funky...and always hypnotic.

Luigi Nono (1924–1990)
Archivio Luigi Nono is a site devoted to the memory and works of the great composer and communist.

Polish Jazz
Good info about the most active and adventurous jazz-scene and tradition in East Europe.

Shostakovich & Other Soviet Composers
Onno van Rijen's abundant site about the Russians.

Uusinta
A Finnish chamber ensemble specialising in contemporary music. Also a publishing house and record company.
Home to for example Max Savikangas, a composer I'm often collaborating with.


Iannis Xenakis (1922–2001)
great composer, architect and thinker

Tzadik / John Zorn
the record label and home of a musical genius

Wordsound
