Varatkaa aikaa riisuutumiselle/Reserve some time for undressing for soprano, violin and guitar
Varatkaa aikaa riisuutumiselle ('Reserve some time for undressing', 2016) is set to aphorisms by Finnish poet Mirkka Rekola.

In these aphorisms, it's like one arrives into a space where everything...

Pheme for clarinet Bb and tape
