about

The album takes the listener on a musical journey from cosmic ambient landscapes to little molecules, overlapping, confronting, and encountering at times. Intimate and bare vocals and lyrical yet expressive bass playing are the core of AIKA - a musical journey through time.



The project can be said to be started already 14 years ago when Copenhagen-based Finns Tapani Toivanen (bass & composition) and Johanna Sulkunen (voc & composition) first worked together. Since then the duo has been growing together in their musical languages both separately and together, always eager to push themselves musically to territories unknown. They are now ready for a united expression.



They invited the drummer Olavi Louhivuori (Fin) well known to form groups Oddarrang, Ilmiliekki, and Tomasz Stanko, and the multiple Danish Music Award winner Simon Toldam (Dk) piano and synths. They were led by structures and texts, but given free hands to interpret the musical frames quite freely adding their enormous vocabularies into the game. Simon experimenting with electronics while Olavi adding his minimalistic yet constantly evolving drumming.



The group AIKA found themselves in a musical world resembling at times the world of Dali’s Persistence of Memory.
