August 2010: Schbert is setting up a new exciting band called Usvakone, busy creating their music, planning the live stage hardware, programming the synths and sequences. Will be cool to share the stage with VJ Usva. See their site: Usvakone

June 2010: The 100 Films project with Hannu is halfway, 50+ films done, more to come. Schbert has a couple of files ready for the next weird movie where strange ambient or ethereal soundscapes are needed. Some call it “noise”. Fair enough.

Aprill 2010: Slowly looking at ways to play guitar live as a one man band. Would be acid jazz, drums and bass sequenced on the fly, guitar loops improvised on top. Lounge noodling may even be unavoidable. The audiences might get bored but who cares, this is for self therapeutic purposes only. Or for the sake of Art? Awww c’mon.

Feb 2010: Schbert & Arto & Arto had loads of fun live as the Kazoo, a disposable band. They played classic 80’s and 90’s disco pop Midi tunes at a private event. As usual, VJ Usva kindly provided the stunning visuals. It was fun to play synths live to a click track. More of this to come, but with less gear please. 

Jan 2010: Schbert returned to his guitar roots, playing live in their company’s internal band contest. Their band Bot.Tom did very well, getting the 2nd place and honorable mentions for their mashing up of ZZ Top with Nylon Beat with Michael Jackson with Matti Nykänen. The audience loved it too, we heard. May upload some video footage...
