Space and the sound of It has been one of the cornerstones of the music of Tapani Rinne and Teho Majamäki since the beginning. The two previous albums contain meditative music recorded in acoustically interesting and atmospheric locations - temples and caves in India, as well as deep inside the country in the railway tunnels of the Helsinki metropolitan area.

With the new album, the musicians wanted to keep outside factors to a minimum and record compositions in controlled studio conditions. In this way, different spaces can be created electronically afterwards into the works. Aleksi Myllykoski and Mika Kalmi are responsible for mixing and post-production. The tracks are based on Teho's metal percussion instruments and Tapan's woodwinds.

On the complete works, men went direction of a free musical dialogue, in which the boundaries between improvisation and composed music become blurred and insignificant. Instead of listening sound of the space itself, musicians tuned into listen to the vibration of metal and wood instruments. ”We focused on sensing the mutual resonance of the instruments and the sensitivity of improvisation. A presence on the border of the familiar and the unknown.” Says Tapani and Teho. The recordings took place in Kitee, Eastern Finland, near the Russian border. The location and way of working gave birth to the name of the record - On The Border.

Highly recommended.
