• VA - 'Anthology Of Electroacoustic Music From Finland' CD

There is a long tradition of Electroacoustic music in Finland beginning in the 1950's with the experimentation of tape music, but stretching back to Finland’s first electronic musical instrument, the Sähkövalopiano (Electric Light Piano), built in 1894 in the Polytechnic Institute (now Aalto University) in Helsinki.

Finland also has a tradition of blending archaic traditional music in the contemporary music scene; the Kalevala tradition for example dates back centuries before today and the instruments associated with it were used to accompany shepherds on their lonely watches, or village dance parties bringing joy and sense of belonging to communities. These musical traditions have been revitalised by being used in a modern context, not only in its original form, but also being integrated into electroacoustic realm by the musicians willing to experiment. This compilation is proof that the Finnish musical tradition and its instruments are still alive and taking steps to new sound territories.

Features: Pekko Käppi, Kohellus, Heikki Lindgren + Rauno Nieminen, Aarniseppä (2 tracks), Teemu Korpipää, Heikki Lindgren + Mika Rintala, Hulva, and [ówt krì]. Ltd x 200 copies in a matt digipak.
