The
29th
Music and Media in Tampere in October, from Thursday 4th to Friday
5th,
was a huge international event with more than 650 participants from
Finland and abroad. Finest Sounds was an essential partner in the
event, inviting Japanese delegation of music professionals and
festival organizors and organizing three panel discussions with
themes like Japan listens!, Sub-Publishing in Japan and Branded
Japan.
Finest
Sounds University partners get together for a kick-off meeting on
Wednesday evening before the event. From Tallinn University / Baltic
Film, Media, Arts and Communication School arrived a group of 15
students with professor Andres Jõesaar and project manager Ele
Arder. From TAMK attended six students with lecturers Harri Karvinen
and Sohvi Sirkesalo. Katja Pyykkö, student from HUMAK, took the role
of coordinating all groups working with Estonian and Finnish artists.
Three teams were formed: Team Tampere, Team Tokio and Team
Tallinn.
During Music & Media days all teams had the opportunity to meet managers or people from music companies of the musicians or bands. Team Tallinn even enjoyed the concert of PK Keränen & Valtteri Pöyhönen.
