Kalima Yellow

Swiss vocal acrobat Andreas Schaerer and Finnish guitarist Kalle Kalima have some things in common. As artists, each is essentially in a category completely of his own. Both are musicians who can always conjure something special from their chosen instruments.

During the last years, Kalle and I had the opportunity to work on original duo music without much pressure from outside and finally recorded this program in September 2022.I have always enjoyed listening to and exploring ensemble music that uses multiple instruments being capable of providing harmonic information.This certainly requires deep listening on various levels - pitch-wise, chord-wise, register-wise, rhythmically and texturally.The duo combination of piano and acoustic guitar puts these possibilities and challenges under a magnifying glass.
