Hannu Pohjannoro • Composer

"Hannu Pohjannoro’s piece for bass clarinet and electronics [---] had an immediately likeable tape part that gesturally and acoustically counterpointed the clarinet part. The whole organisation was contrapuntal with several clearly defined strands working their own logic while blending and cutting back together to provide meaningful discourse. "

- John McLachlan, Journal of Music

"A composer known for his exquisite worlds of timbre, his graphically etched lines and polished details, he avoids lavish displays of emotion and instead focuses on the lyrical poetry of little gestures, on volatility and limit states – things that cannot be defined precisely."

- Kimmo Korhonen, Highlights
