<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV><DIV>Hello, </DIV><DIV>Sibelius Akademie has a department called CMT cmt.siba.fi ( Center for Music and Technology), I guess it is the only place where you can find some electro-acoustic studies in Helsinki, also Helsinki University has musicology department. Every first sunday of the month, there is an experimental music and video night at Sturenkatu 2, but I guess you will miss 5th of Februrary. Mbar is good, check out for Sauna Bar as well. In august there is Koneisto Festival, biggest electronic music event in Helsinki. Some concerts are organized every now and then but they are usually announced a week before. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>enjoy your time!!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Koray.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></DIV><DIV><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Hi list,</FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">since February 17th untill 27th ill be in the Helsinki-Turku area.</FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Does anybody knows about places that i could go to see concerts or<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">something related?
