Puuluup live stream

Crossing Hiiu kannel with electronics, Puuluup oscillates on the border of tradition and modern music styles, flirting with world music, underground and pop. Puuluup controls the vibrations of hiiu kannel’s strings through effect blocks and the looper and uses alternative playing techniques and sound generation options. Electronically amplified echoes, knocks, squeaks and scrapes are added to the soft hiss of Hiiu kannel. The music is at times dance-pulsating and at times cinematic and dark, creeping in and carried over from the chambers of the ancient Vormsi talharpists. It sounds like original creations impregnated with tradition, references to punk classics and romantic neo-zombie post-folk with educational content. The men themselves say modestly about their work: “Our main message in the context of folk music is that, look, you can do all kinds of things with the hiiu kandel, learn the instrument and make your own music.”
