Deaf Indian: Live Sounds and Pictures 2016-2018

Since my teenage years I've been loving instrumental rock, jazz-fusion, pop, metal, game music, movie sountracks and 70s progressive music. Deaf Indian started as an effort to compose my own music for a school project. I had some older riffs that I tried to combine together. The idea of this fusion band was to create jazz like tunes and improvisation combined with groovy rock like elements influenced by Cosmosquad, Blues Saraceno, Allen Hinds and Nikka Costa to name a few.
Anyway, here's some live sound and pictures from Deaf Indian's journey from 2016 to 2018. During that time we played our own instrumental music in the city of Oulu on jazz festivals (Elojazz and Oulun Musiikkijuhlat) and local clubs. It's always a pleasure play with these great guys. Hopefully we will make our first record in the future and have more gigs.
Special thanks to guest musicians drummer Samuli Sarkkinen and saxophonist Olli Pelto-Aho. Also thanks to Roope Nieminen & Ilkka Pokkinen (RN Sounds) for live audio and mixing the promo audio. And to Kalle Hautamäki of Neotar Media for our live videos and many of the pictures.
