Mahti are a Finnish four-piece group presenting a unique mixture of ambient-rock, electronic music and traditional Finnish-Karelian music.

Lengthy semi-improvisational pieces are built on top of complex, hypnotic synths which are layered with opaque guitars and strangely soothing noise elements. In the heart of it all there's kantele, an ancient Finnish string instrument played by Hannu Saha, who has studied Finnish folk music in theory and practice for nearly five decades. The other players are Jussi Lehtisalo and Tomi Leppänen, who also form the rhythmic core of avant-rock group CIRCLE, and psychiatrist Teemu Elo.

These ancient musicians played their 'mahti'... and the sound they produced was called 'musiikki'. Strange dreams guaranteed! "A tripped out, ambient-hypnotic ride" (Riot Season). Digipak.
