    GRAEME MILLER

    Comet In Moominland

    [engl] From deep in the heart of Moominvalley, frozen in time for many midwinters passed, comes a genuine treasure chest of never heard Moomin melodies and instrumental comet songs composed for the continued animated adventures of our Fuzzy-Felt freak folk friends who disappeared from UK TV pastures in the mid-1980s. From the top of the Hobgoblin’s hat and the bottom of Snufkin’s satchel, original Moomin’s composer Graeme Miller (The Carrier Frequency) kindly shares this patchwork selection of spellbinding sound poems and percussive peons made using the very same selection of ocarinas, kalimbas, miniature squeak boxes, Waspy synths, cornflake box shakers and a seemingly endless array of talent and lo-fi home studio trickery. Regarded as one of the most enigmatic, beguiling and haunting imported children’s programmes to ever grace UK TV screens, The Moomins was one of the first-ever commissions by Anne Wood (The Teletubbies) who ingeniously replaced the original Polish/Austrian/Finnish soundtrack with homemade music experiments by unknown post-punk theatre students Graeme Miller and Steve Shill (aka The Commies From Mars) who after the screening of two unforgettable series in 1983 and 1985 were left in eager anticipation of rescoring further Moomin adventures with new melodies, arrangements and sound designs which then lingered in the ether waiting until the Groke awoke and Snorkmaiden sang once more. With future felt adventures screened exclusively in Poland and Germany for many years (often as feature films) these unheard recordings are the only genuine musical sequel to the bizarre UK version of The Moomins and stand as important inclusions the Graeme Miller’s own portfolio of theatrical theme music and sound installations as part of The Impact Theatre Cooperative including collaborations with artists and writers such as Russell Hoban. Witnessed in fragmented form during a short run of incredible rare live screenings at The Barbican Theatre and various film festival this record marks the first time this music has been heard in its original full-length form, free from sound effects, dialog and whimpers of euphoric joy and nostalgia from those who have continued to crave the company of our Moomintrolls and their mysterious music over the last five decades. After a long unintentional hibernation Finders Keepers return this summer with the first in a series of limited special editions of previously unreleased archival recordings and who better to kick off the festivities than the maestro behind the music of our faithful felt folk friends from Moominvalley. Here you will find totally unheard proposals for an unreleased third UK specific series of 1980’s The Moomins TV series and unheard comet songs expertly recorded for potential cinematic sequels from the heart of Graeme Miller’s very own original musical micro laboratory, housed in unique collectable packaging, hand-made in Finders Keepers inimitable bespoke style. These two variants both come in sturdy book bound sleeves with stitched seams and two colour screen-printed illustrative artwork which is absolutely unique to his release. The Comet Flame Red edition comes in two tone grained leatherette with black line-art and gold Comet Insignia detail, while alternatively the Hot Sand edition comes in a porous crushed velvet featuring a black line-art and amber Comet detail. Both hand made editions are limited to less than 50 copies each and include inserts and the black vinyl pressing of these latter day recordings before their official 2022 reawakening.
