Puuluup

Puuluup was born in 2014 from the meeting of two talharpa (hurdy-gurdy) enthusiasts: Ramo Teder and Marko Veisson. Ramo Teder is a multi-instrumentalist best known for his long-running solo project Pastacas. He is also a pioneer of looping in Estonia, and has been mastering these skills for twenty years. Marko Veisson has a background in anthropology, and his fieldwork in northern Ghana and his love of West African music have certainly influenced Puuluup’s style.

They play their own compositions on talharpas, popular in northern Europe since the early Middle Ages and played on the islands of western Estonia until the early twentieth century. Puuluup directs the vibrations of the talharpa’s horsehair strings with effects blocks and a looper, and uses alternative bowing and drumming techniques and sounds. The mellow sighs of the talharpa are combined with electronically amplified echoes, thumps, squeaks and creaks, while retaining the natural sound of the instrument. They play with music as they play with words, sometimes creating their own language. As the band says: “We take our inspiration from Vormsi nights, trams in November, junkies in love, Odessa criminals and Antonio Vivaldi”. As an accompaniment to their concerts, they also offer choreographic flights of fancy that have emerged on their own over the course of the many days that these dancers have spent together.
