Ratsut

The sequel to Laura Hynninen's award-winning Otilia album and the newly released Ratsut album have been completed.
Yleisradio chose Hynninen's previous Otilia album as Album of the Year 2021 and it was also nominated for Emma in 2022 in the Classic Album of the Year series.
Otil's sounds at the end of the album continue directly at the beginning of Ratsut, thus tying these two separate entities together.
Laura Hynninen combines her music and visual works with her original style and creates moods from her instrument that have not been heard before. In the songs on the album, Laura uses live electronics and the songs on the album can be played in live performances in the same style as on the album. Hynnien's solo concert ensemble has been heard, e.g. At Kauniainen Music Festival, Riihimäki Summer Concerts, Kokonainen Festival, Hiljaisuus Festival and Helsinki Harp Festival.
