9 May 2007 - Beatnicks
Oh we do feel the love of the German press again, for this month's issue of ::Beat magazine features an interview
of the loopster on the making of ::luo , live performances and music in general. There is even a small mentioning
of the forthcoming album..so if you are in or around germany,be sure to pick up an issue for your reading pleasure.
Also, for the 2 year anniversary on the release of Luo,
I have decided to release the album in FLAC
(::free lossless audio codec) format on a
dedicated ::microsite for those who care enough about the higher fidelity.

13 october 2006 - time out
After somewhat hectic spring and summer of 2006, I am taking some time off to write a new album and some other odd releases while
concentrating on the matters of the heart and things that are most important to me.
I want to thank thank all the people involved in making
all my live appearances possible so far this year; Dj burdock for the wicked night at Butane club, Kaido, Anti and Kaarel of Kuurort Records for the loveliest time in
Tallinn on several occasions and the all the people at Assembly 2006 for .. well .. assembly :)
Also I want to extend my thanks to all the people that have sent me
the loveliest, most encouraging emails. They really make my day.
There are some minor updates in the gallery and there is also plenty more live gigs in the works.
If you are an organizer and wish to have me perform at your event,
don't hesitate to contact me at bl (at) bad loop . com.
For now, take care of yourselves and your loved ones.
-Petteri

20 june 2006 - Plosive - One remixes
"Collaboration has always been an important factor here at One - whether it's through music,
technology or artwork. In this spirit the return of Plosive brings us a showcase of covers,
mixes and overhauls of many favorite releases from the past couple of years - including reworkings of
Bad Loop, Jack Haberfield, Iua, Emil Klotzsch, Paranerd, Partikel and Recue."

19 may 2006 - Earthlings
I have a rule that I don't post views or opinions of any kind, nor do I take any part in political, religious or environmental issues on my website, but I saw a very powerful documentary titled ::Earthlings and I felt
I needed to do my part in making people aware of this informative, thought provoking film.
::Earthlings is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research, but also illustrates our complete disrespect
for these so-called "non-human providers."
The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.
This is a must see for everybody old enough, but I must warn that it contains highly disturbing images of animal abuse by humans.
You can find out more on ::www.isawearthlings.com
and you can watch the documentary in full lenght at
::Google video

::if:then:goto "another syntax error" (one022) qualifies simply as good song writing. Nothing tech, nothing too fancy - just good production, soulful vocals, inspiration, and catchy choruses. A mixture of brit-indie, guitar, and electronic music taken down his own path.
To top it off and spin things up, 'ASE' is closed out with 3 remixes from favorite One artists - including Emil Klotzsch, Bad Loop and Recue.
"easy" (bad loop remix) is somewhat of a tribute to late 80's / early 90's synthpop that I used to listen to as a kid.. so get those shoulderpads shaking. download it all at ::one.dot9.ca

tallin, estonia; gorgeous city with the most beautiful women i have ever seen in my life.
the ::sun dance music festival was a fantastic event to play at, and i would love to thank the people of
::kuurort records for inviting me to their beautiful country.
thanks to the audience at the event. the response of the crowd left me speechless, you are fantastic people.
also a very special thank you goes to riku "recue" annala who was kind enough to come perform with me;
it simply would have been lame without you.
.. and the icelandic ::sprinkler was amazing!

it's been too long in the making but finally I give you ::Luo,
a 6-track e.p. of light-hearted electronica released by the fantastic people at ::One.
I thank everybody who supported me over the past few months .. you know who you are.
hopefully you will find this more enjoyable than I did at times making it. now go on ..
throw them panties on the stage and reach for the lasers..
14 april 2005
if you didn't make it to the fantastic event held in Espoo for
some odd reason, no need to strangle yourself with your underpants,
for it isn't very comfortable and also we have
::live footage
of the event. we also tried to get the live
performances recorded on minidisks but sometimes you just can't avoid days when technology lets you down and you end
up with one minidisk filled with whining r'n b music.
i also want to thank everybody involved with organizing this lovely event, especially Apo, Mervi, Riku, Tevya,
Joanna, the boys from Kotka, Dazztypooh, the stars of the evening Lassi, Juho and Hosni + everybody who's names i
don't know.
18 march 2005
