Uusi Laine 2018-10-27 @ Jorma100Sami Party
Uploaded 1 year ago
How long have you been playing?
Started learning at ...14 ...15? Never stopped. I played punk in the 70's :) have never become a musician :D
What was the first concert you ever went to?
Must have The Safety Pins Club, I think we played there :) Hmm... in 1978
What gear do you use?
Briefly: ESP M-50 & Morris (strat clone) gtr, ESP FL-50 & Morris (precision clones) bs, iMac + virtual instruments, a pile of synths and modules, some second hand amps. 2015: Latest acquisition: Alesis DM-5 digital drums. I have had drum modules, but these come with drum pads. [see photo section]
What are you looking for from Fandalism?
Hoping to get some audience. Constructive feedback would be most welcome. Possibly cooperation?
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
Hmm.. Kraftwerk, Sex Pistols, PiL, Kate Bush, Depeche Mode, Eppu Normaali; Friends. Heard from the radio, friends recommended. Internet came about a couple of decades later.
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
Presently: Uusi Laine 81-, Pimeyden kajo 2005-, Three Ounces of Nothingness 2014-
Earlier: Pop-Idolit 78-80, Seitseman Surmanluotia 1978, Libido 1987, Deus et Machina 2003, Kosminen Illuusio 2004, The Sivupersoonat 2013, Vasama Fiddle & Poing 2014, Jyki Jayha & Tanssiorkesteri Hekuma 2014.
All sorts of music. Experimental. Mostly punk/new wave in the early days of band activity, later anything from folk to electronica. No heavy metal so far.
Playing live 1-2 times a year.

If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Strawberry jam, please.
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
Biggest audience at Students' House (Ylioppilastalo) Tampere, Finland in 1987 (playing with Libido). Over 100 people in the audience. Or maybe Ufo-Rock at Telakka in Tampere 2003 also over 100 people (playing with Kosminen Illuusio). Smallest audience 2 people at a private party in Tampere 2014 (playing solo). Most memorable performance in Darkside Club, in Helsinki 2011 (playing with Pimeyden Kajo).
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
Does it matter? I'd expect no record players to be found on a desert island.
1977

Sami - Kotiseutu kaukainen
A special treat for my friends @ Fandalism.com
__The Distant Homeland__
I sparkled in lust with you all day and night.
Oh, why I hesitated for a moment, didn't keep my word.
Only drank and lived in sin thus nullifying everything
I nailed the windows shut, now I miss you alone.
I look to horizon, leaving home shores behind.
No matter where I roam, somewhere there'll be a destination.
I open a door to another kind of world
and forget the distant homeland for good.

"Missä oot" (translation)
Music and lyrics Sami Laitala (1978)
Originally written and sung in Finnish
http://fandalism.com/samitrax/dBne
Where are you
Where are you, my dearest?
I'm sitting here waiting for you.
Have you passed away,
drowned into depth of the sea?
I imagine you in front of me
watching your face.
I contemplate wondering
why I can't remember them.
Chor: And only when I see you
I can make your image stop haunting me.
My dearest, why don't I know,
that you never even existed?
I try to call you in vain.
I can never reach you.
I dial all through the night
with my bleeding fingertips.
I imagine you in front of me
I have fun with you on my own.
I contemplate wondering
am I just a victim of desire...
(these lyrics are not meant to be sung)



Sami Laitala

The Dream
The wind asks to be let in, the door keeps squeaking.
The curtains swing among themselves, the branches scratch the window.
I get up from the bed, though I'd like to sleep.
The dream would exit the room, leading me to come along.
Chorus: And it feels like somewhere in this house there would be life...
I feel like I've just woken up, I guess I fell asleep.
The dream may have a rest, it sits in my lap.
The lights vanish into darkness, the dim street is waiting.
There's no movement anywhere. Someone is staring out.
Chorus: And it feels like somewhere in this room there's some life...
I get back to bed, the dream chuckles at me.
I make some room in the pillow, in case it wants company.
The dream floats silently away, walks through the wall,
though it could stay here for a night. I feel cold for a moment.
Chorus: And sometimes it feels like in this body there's some life...
