Raoul Bj: Shadowglow

Read "Shadowglow" reviewed by Rico Cleffi


There are moments on Shadowglow where Raoul Björkenheim and Lukas Ligeti achieve such an intuitive balance that it's hard to tell who's playing what.

In this duo setting, both musicians let their omnivorous musical minds and vast technique wander ...

Raoul Bj: Apocalypso

Read "Apocalypso" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Guitarist Raoul Björkenheim wields his instrument like a knife on the ironically double-entendred Apocalypso. Sometimes he stabs, other times he engraves; or he might twist and jab, or simply scratch. Maybe it's just a Finnish thing, but brightness and Björkenhim just don't go together. The story behind this composition is relatively brief: in 1994, the Helsinki ...
