A new trio album “I Do Believe There Is A Ghost In My Pipe” with Teemu Mustonen on drums & Eero Tikkanen on double bass is out now on Ramble Records! Cover painting by Jim Kopp! Listen HERE or click the image!
“Heikki Ruokangas’ new trio album I Do Believe There Is A Ghost In My Pipe with drummer Teemu Mustonen and double bassist Eero Tikkanen draws inspiration from the world of ghosts and the unseen. The cover artwork by American painter Jim Kopp further shaped the album's atmosphere and artistic direction.
Blending lyrical melodies with fearless atonal improvisation, the trio moves fluidly between structure and freedom. Together they dissolve conventional notions of time, rhythm, and harmony, creating a distinctive musical language that fuses contemporary jazz with subtle influences from Finnish folk music.”
