Mustik Motel Music night at G Livelab Tampere presents: Tahmela Six & Lauri Kallio!Tahmela Six:Six visionary souls who weave intricate tapestries of sound. Tahmela Six is a perpetual rebirth – a free-flowing session that taps into the very pulse of existence.Through the heart of Finland’s ancient woodlands, the music drinks from babbling creeks and listens to the whispering forest. Roots stretching across the time and globe from the land of midnight sun all the way to the streets of 1965 New York city.For some time audio engineer Jarno Alho had an idea cooking in his head. As a music lover the idea was to organise and record a free jazz session. Curious to see and hear the session from the very beginning till end while recording the moment. Finally in late 2023 he and the well known local drummer Janne Tuomi met at lunch to figure out a list of players for the session. They came up with satisfying names from Helsinki, Tampere and Turku who all happened to agree to take part!The session was agreed to happen right after Christmas Eve 2023. During the darkest and coldest time of the year. Location was chosen to be one of the beautiful old Villa’s around Tampere, Tahmela Villa by the lake Pyhä. The session was a success and magic indeed happened as we all can hear from the recording. This was the birth of Tahmela Six and the album Mount.In late summer of 2025 the group gathered to Finnish countryside to record their second album. Playing outside, besides a rye field just before harvest time set the mood to an inspiring collective improvisations with loose premeditated riffs. The result can be heard in spring 2026, released again by Mustik Motel Musik.Eero Savela, trumpetOtto Eskelinen, alto sax, flute, shakuhachiSami Sippola, tenor saxEero Tikkanen, bassJanne Tuomi, drumsTopias Tiheäsalo, guitarLauri Kallio:Raised in Tampere, Lauri Kallio (b. 1989) is a versatile music professional whose work can be heard on around forty releases: as a recording engineer, mixing engineer and producer, as a composer and arranger, and of course as a musician—above all, a guitarist. In recent years, Kallio has become known through groups such as Pambikallio and the Jimi Tenor Band.His ensemble plays music in which “an open landscape of interpretation leaves the listener both the responsibility and the freedom to seek the stories and the meanings behind them. Though you don’t have to do even that—you can simply be and enjoy.” (Pekka Laine)Kallio’s second album, Turtles, Cats and Other Creatures, acclaimed by both critics and audiences, was released in 2025. The concert will feature pieces from the album as well as new compositions.The ensemble features:Natalia Castrillón – HarpVille Rauhala – BassJoonas Leppänen – DrumsAdele Sauros – Saxophones & FluteLauri Kallio – GuitarDuring the evening, it will also be possible to purchase these and other records released by Mustik Motel Music at the label’s own sales table.

Mustik Motel Music -ilta G Livelabissa tuo lavalle kaksi mahtavaa uudelle tamperelaiselle levy-yhtiölle levyttävää tamperelaistaustaista artistia, kun esiintymään saapuvat Tahmela Six ja Lauri Kallio!Tahmela Six – Alight -levynjulkaisu:G Livelab Tampereella juhlistetaan Tahmela Six -yhtyeen toista albumia, Alight. Debyyttialbumi äänitettiin vuoden pimeimpään aikaan historiallisessa ja tunnelmallisessa Tahmelan huvilassa. Toista albumia varten haettiin erilaista tunnelmaa. Albumi tallennettiin ulkona täydessä auringon paisteessa pellon ja metsän yhtymäkohdassa Lauri Kallion rauhallisella musiikkitilalla Kiikalassa. Yhteys ympäröivään maaseutuun ja luontoon on välitön. Tahmela Sixin toisella albumilla musiikki virtaa vapaana ja samalla säilyy juurevana.Tahmela Six luottaa ilmaisussaan vapaaseen, hetkessä tiivistyvään improvisaatioon. Kuusi soittajaa keskustelevat lavalla: kuuntelevat ja vastaavat, antaen musiikin kasvaa orgaanisesti. Lopputuloksena on intensiivistä ja ilmavaa free jazzia, joka voi liikkua raa’asta energiasta yllättävän lyyrisiinkin hetkiin.Lavalla:Eero Savela – trumpettiSami Sippola – tenorisaksofoniJanne Tuomi – rummutTopias Tiheäsalo – kitaraOtto Eskelinen – alttosaksofoni, huilu, shakuhachiEero Tikkanen – bassoLauri Kalio:Tampereella varttunut Lauri Kallio (s. 1989) on moneen venyvä musiikin ammattilainen, jonka työn jälkiä voi löytää noin neljältäkymmeneltä julkaisulta: äänittäjänä, miksaajana ja tuottajana, säveltäjänä, sovittajana sekä luonnollisesti myös soittajana, ennen kaikkea kitaristina. Kallio on viime vuosina tullut tutuksi mm. yhtyeistä Pambikallio ja Jimi Tenor Band.Hänen yhtyeensä soittaa musiikkia, jonka “tulkinnoille avoin maisema jättää kuulijalle vastuuta ja vapautta etsiä tarinat sekä niille merkitykset. Sitäkään ei tosin tarvitse tehdä, voi vain olla ja nauttia.” (Pekka Laine)Kallion toinen kriitikoiden ja yleisön arvostama levy “Turtles, Cats and Other Creatures” julkaistiin 2025 ja keikalla on odotettavissa kyseisen levyn kappaleita ja uusia sävelmiä.Yhtyeessä soittavat:Natalia Castrillón - HarppuVille Rauhala - BassoJoonas Leppänen - RummutAdele Sauros - Saksofonit & PoikkihuiluLauri Kallio - KitaraIllan aikana on myös mahdollista ostaa näitä sekä muita Mustik Motel Musicin julkaisemia levyjä levy-yhtiön omalta myyntipisteeltä. Mustik Motel Music on riippumaton levy-yhtiö, jonka tehtävä on julkaista hyvää musiikkia.
