The second number in my “Trilogy of Creation” , Hen Kai Pan (“One And All”) is an instrumental piece about Egyptian cosmogony. The arrangement features heavy instruments that portray the birth of Amun Ra from the dark expanse of mother Nun. Amun then sits on the river shore, weeping and shedding tears that give birth to humankind.
Spoken parts: Amun, the one standing in darkness, unseen and unfathomed “Uplifted is Maat in front of you, She gives both her hands around you” (fragment from the Ritual to the god Amun). Amun thus wept. Emanations from His body…the creation of human souls. They came into being…the spawn of His tears.
I am the live bassist for the Finnish prog metal/djent band Aitheer, which draws from the concept of “natural resonance frequency of the Universe” of 432Hz. Our instruments are thus tuned to 432 Hz instead of the standard 440 Hz, which gives a very interesting feeling especially to Western ears, so accustomed to the 12-tone temperate scale in 440 Hz with a sharper sound.
Here I play my fretless bass on stage with the band at bar Loose in Helsinki, on Wednesday 22nd January 2025.
A reworking of my track Demogorgon (2022), which was featured in the EP Quantum Arkanum. Revised guitars, recorded as a classical string ensemble, with a dark sounding bass drone being the new main, obscure element.
ἦ τοι μὲν πρώτιστα Χάος γένετο (“Verily at the first Chaos came to be”), from the poem Theogonia by Hesiod (730–700 BC), the origin of the Gods in Greek mythology.
As you all know, my roots (as a listener and practitioner) are in classical music.
In this cute punk rock track we played at our 21.03 gig at Lepakkomies, Helsinki, I pay homage to the immortal Edvard Grieg during the intro (this is featured in the EP recording as well): In The Hall of the Mountain King! Wearing the Ghost mask too 🙂
My new song “You” is a poignant and intense reflection on the role of Ambition in human actions and history. Inspired by #Stendhal and #Dostoevsky. Hailing from my Odalisque years, the song was unreleased, so I did a robust rework.
This one is now distributed and you can find it on Spotify etc.
I have made a video of me playing the guitar solo of my latest song “You”, out now! Featuring various techniques (e.g. sweep picking and tapping), diminished and harmonic minor scales.
I’m so glad! My dark ambient soundtrack “Room 251”, which is inspired by the movie The Shining (1980) and is dedicated to my friend Fabrizio Borgio, was shared by Otium Musicum Records in their playlist “Lovecraftian Atmos”: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0cqGsFxFxtnzEYZ98x275q Thank you so much!
