STRATOVARIUS Bassist LAURI PORRA Scores Music For Finnish Movie, Directing Christmas Revue, Working On Second Solo Album
November 13, 2006, 18 years ago
STRATOVARIUS bassist Lauri Porra has checked in with the following update on his current activities:
"Mixing of a film score which i wrote for the next Aleksi Mäkelä movie, V2: Jäätynyt Enkeli has started. It's a private detective thriller and a sequel to the movie Vares, which was a very succesful movie in Finland a couple of years ago. This is the first time I have written a score to a movie, which has been a longtime dream of mine. I hope it turns out allright. Check out the teaser with some of my music, and if you don´t know Finnish enjoy a good example of my weird language spoken here .Also, another new thing for me has been to be the musical director in a music revue. I share the musical director duties on the Christmas revue Heavy X-Mas with my friend and fellow KOTIPELTO member, Tuomas Wäinölä. If you are in Finland and want to have a laugh and hear some good music, come down to see the show. More info here.
Speaking of Christmas, I play bass on the second Finnish heavy meets Christmas carols album called Raskaampaa Joulua. Also again sung in Finnish. Check out the songclips at this location.
Also recording bass for the new Kotipelto album and trying to get my second solo-album done. The movie thing took so much energy I had to postpone solostuff a bit. All of the music is written though, and I hope to get back to it asap."
Best Regards
-Lauri Porra
