Instrumental music is the only pure form of music.
Unlike the music with lyrics, which is limited by logical reason,
instrumental music can be experienced only through emotions and intuition.
In this way it's a true gateway to the wonders of the universe.

'At the age of ten I began studying classical guitar at the Tampere concervatory (Finland),
which gave a good knowledge of music theory. Nevertheless, it might not be surprising
it was Jimi Hendrix that really got me hooked, and made me realize the limitless
possibilities of guitar when I was about 14. That's when I got more into the electric guitar,
and soon after that obviously went completely crazy about Yngwie Malmsteen 's Rising Force,
followed by Joe Satriani 's Surfing with the alien and alike.. ( God bless the good old
eighties !..) I went on studying classical guitar for ten years, but I guess fusion guitar
music was always the thing for me after all. Even though my life took me other ways
( see The Art of Huitula...), the passion for music was always there. Even though technical
aspect of guitar music has always been a vital point for me, to reach the unlimited expression,
it's the passion that makes music alive. The technical skill is still just the tool to
achieve what you want to say with your instrument. And to reach the true passion is a journey
of a lifetime.' -K.H.
