Ptarmigan operated in Tallinn from 2011-2014. We no longer maintain any presence in Tallinn, but this website will continue to serve as an archive of the activities produced at Ptarmigan during these years.
Lauhkeat Lampaat = the brothers Tolvi, Antti and Jaakko, one half of Rauhan Orkesteri, also active in a plethora of explosive sound bubbles (Mohel, Kiila, etc.). They deliver unyielding swells of breath and rhythm, energetic headbutting while handholding, and post-Brown Rice cosmic consciousness. With an upcoming tour of China planned for Antti, we may see two solo pieces tonight, but who knows?
