laonikoss Laonikos Psimikakis-Chalkokondylis Helsinki I am a creative artist and wilderness guide, and I try to explore the common ground between the two. Fascinated by Japanese philosophy, and totally in love with Finnish wilderness, in my work I am interested in not taking for granted the present moment: surrendering and forgetting, being open to what is here, now. A playful approach to being in the world, as just a part of the larger dance that the universe is. What fascinates me about improvising and being in the wilderness is that they both almost demand a certain presence, a being in-tune, listening. I see improvisation as a yet-unvisited wilderness, with its surprises and risks, the need for a certain humility and honesty; a landscape unravelling moment to moment as one treads through it. Simplicity, honesty, directness, playfulness. laonikoss’s tracks four - umami-music EP 2016 by laonikoss published on 2016/10/04 12:19:35 +0000 one - umami-music EP 2016 by laonikoss published on 2016/10/04 12:16:17 +0000 umami-music (extracts, 10.11.2015) by laonikoss published on 2016/03/17 16:46:40 +0000 lake freezing up by laonikoss published on 2015/11/23 21:42:20 +0000 vesi hioo kiveä niin kuin aika minua by laonikoss published on 2015/11/16 17:45:59 +0000 marsh warbler vs thrush nightingale by laonikoss published on 2015/06/08 14:28:36 +0000 love's confusing joy by laonikoss published on 2014/02/20 12:33:33 +0000 life is like a balloon by laonikoss published on 2013/12/02 20:27:09 +0000 decomposition by laonikoss published on 2013/03/30 19:55:50 +0000 miina by laonikoss published on 2013/03/30 18:31:50 +0000
