The new album ‘AURI: Candles & Beginnings’ has now become physical and can be found at all the usual outlets. A European Tour is underway and is already triumphant, so do come and experience a rare experience.
I will be posting some little ‘vignettes’ concerning each song over the coming weeks, so watch this space…
Reviews in real hard-copy magazines are trickling in -
“This music is not about genres or their fusion. Freedom resonates in every track.
If world peace were music, it might very well sound like this”.
- **** Inferno (Finland)
“There’s a magical feel to the album as a whole, and the glorious result is a genuinely collaborative soundscape that ebbs and flows beautifully”
- Prog (UK)
The Procession: above the Earth
An extraordinary new company called 'SEN' was recently launched, and it has arrived with a wondrous idea - to democratize space through access to live stream footage of the Earth from their 4K cameras on the ISS (International Space Station). This is available in 'real time' , 24/7, to everyone.
Every week, they produce a roundup of footage, and I am deeply honoured they are using my music to accompany these astonishing images.
The music featured is called 'The Procession' and it lives in the albums ' The Madness of Crowds' and 'Messages'. The piece is looped throughout the roundup, and a trance-like state just cannot be avoided. Thanks to SEN's CEO Charles Black and his splendid team for creating such a visionary platform.
Just when you think the world can’t get any better, this happens: A Christmas tour as guest to my wondrous Auri sister and our little brother Timo, travelling around Finnish churches playing magical Yuletide songs and having too much fun. Oh go on then…
