If we remember the moment now, the first meeting with Jüppala Kääpiö happened in a wood beside Rhone river in Geneva, in warm autumn of 2006.
Carole Zweifel who had played viola and sung in folk groups (In Gowan Ring / the Lost People) at that time, and a sound-artist Hitoshi Kojo (a.k.a. Spiracle, Kodama), met in the wood.
When we were listening to the sounds of woods, touching plants, water, stones, and strolling under the sunlight through leaves, Jüppala Kääpiö had already been there with us.
Since then, we have had similar experiences not only in Switzerland (Carole’s native country) and Japan (Hitoshi’s native country), but also in Canada in 2007 and in Mongolia in 2008, two countries where we stayed for several months, in the rich nature.
When we begin to wander with harmonies made by objects found on the way, small instruments that are easy to carry and our voice, Jüppala Kääpiö immediately appear and guide us to a dazzling world filled with the murmur of all livings.
We started to leave the impression of the meeting with them as music first. But also the influence began to appear in visual forms, as stuffed dolls by Carole and drawings by Hitoshi, since around autumn 2007.
Since Summer 2011, we are living in Bruxelles. We enjoy exploring this new land and meeting with new gnomish friends in the city’s multiple green spots and forests.
