The snow is melting.
The old growth forest is awake.
The birds knew it before we did.
It's time to go outside 🌿

Afternoon sea ice walk in -17°C ✨️
Frozen fingers and frozen nose🌿
Sometimes music comes from cold crisp winter air✨️

Every song originated from an old growth forest.

Let's use their music to protect one of them❤️

Protect them with us✨️

We drove all the way from the South of Finland to Lapland to compose music in old growth forests. During this looong drive, I realised there were only young, industrial forests to be seen... clear cuts everywhere...
So I decided to take a day off, listened to a lot of Muse and then recorded a short kantele riff and vocals with tea bowl percussion on my inbuilt mic.
It is such a surprise you can get a sound like this with only the macbook☀️
Later, my friend sent me a picture from the concert he goes to today - and it was Muse🌿
Muse was today at least at two places in Finland simultaneously making music happen - Helsinki and Aalistunturi 🌿
Hopefully someday they will actually come to play in the old growth forest with us in person ❤️ until then, you can enjoy this song ☀️

Thank you Muse.

Already time to snuggle up inside the tree… or wait… studio! For post production of Old Forest Echoes album 🥰

Autumn is here and we are looking forward to warm fires and cups of mushroom soup…the trees are yet to turn and show us their otherworldly colours and we are ready for it 🍁🍂

Thank you, dear summer, for all experiences!

Equinox has happened and darkness is approaching fast…as is the ethereal mist of the forests whispering about secret worlds…

The fascinating thing about music is its intrinsic relationship to nature. Each unfurling melody is like a fractal within a whole. Like a plant, we nurture the seedlings of songs and watch them grow. We have some control, but ultimately all gardeners know they don’t make the plants grow.

We are simply witnessing life as a growing, organic field of intelligence. And we are allowing it to grow in us and through us, ultimately allowing our most precious feelings to take shape through the catalyst of sound.

Vibration and resonance.

Spiralling galaxies.

For us, the forest within is the forest without.

The two connect inextricably and are nothing without one another.

🌿

That is why a one little plant is enough to spell bind me.

Same as I let one little melody lead me home.
