It's in Finnish, a language spoken almost exclusively by Finns.

The performer is French although the page is in Finnish--and as far as I can understand the blather he is performing classical numbers using either farts or a trained seal on bicycle horns.

Didn't look like the language on that page was Finnish to me. More like Norwegian or Icelandic. It's an is domain so I suspect the latter.

Skarpi?

It's the kind of act Catspaw would present if he had multiple tuneable sphincters.

I've received e-mails from folks who have heard the audio but missed the video of this act. Tha man is playing a large assorment of bicycle horns which have been stitched to his clothing.

No, really, it's funny, see, this guy has these horns and.....

Ah, those crazee French! Thanks, Dave, good laughs from that. I was skeptical at first; I dislike scatological humour, but the horns are so obvious...it was funny. Sounded like a melange of kids on trykes in a traffic jam!

Big Tim: When I got to your remark above, well, it's a damn good thing I didn't have a mouthful of coffee, because it'd be all over the computer now. Careful with that, please. LOL

I just saw & heard it, and he's very clever & funny to watch. He plays the horns - like bicycle horns - like a one-man band, using his knees, flexing his arms and legs, between his knees etc etc

Does anyone know his name?

Very funny. I would have liked to see him play "The Flight Of The Bumble-bee"!

Because we are fellow founding and Senior partners in the firm of Lane, Fielding, Patterson, and Swan, Layabouts at Large and For Hire, El Swanno (he of the half Gorilla suit and flaming arsehole but not to be confused with my wannabe paramour known as Koko) sent it to me a few days ago. Unfortunately I did have a mouth full of Diet Coke so I now have redecorated the desktop. Funny shit. But Swanno, Spaw does have multiple tunable sphincters.....
