Jüppala Kääpiö

If we remember the moment now, the first meeting with Jüppala Kääpiö happened in a wood beside Rhone river in Geneva, in warm autumn of 2006. Carole Zweifel who had played viola and sung in folk groups (In Gowan Ring / the Lost People) at that time, and a sound-artist Hitoshi Kojo (a.k.a. Spiracle, Kodama), met in the wood. When we were listening to the sounds of woods, touching plants, water, stones, and strolling under the sunlight through leaves, Jüppala Kääpiö had already been there with us.
