Ensemble Gamut! has quickly emerged as one of Finland\u2019s most interesting ensembles that move fluidly between genres. Led by Aino Peltomaa, they have created their unique sound by combining elements of medieval music, Finnish folk songs, improvisation, original compositions and electronic soundscapes<\/p>\n
The name MI refers to the Arctic flower Micranthes stellaris, and to Peltomaa\u2019s composition\u00a0Mieli meni\u00a0<\/em>(\u201cAnd<\/span>\u00a0so the Mind Went\u201d)<\/span>. MI is also the third note of the Gamut scale (ut, re, mi).<\/p>\n The theme of the album is\u00a0Arctic endangered flowers<\/span>\u00a0and the mental states that sprout from them. In addition to the flower-themed\u00a0 compositions by the powerful medieval women Hildegard von Bingen and Birgitta Birgersdotter, Aino Peltomaa\u2019s compositions and lyrics\u00a0 bring together the intangible and tangible eras of our living environment, our home.\u00a0Lost, rediscovered. Destroyed, vanished, rescued.<\/span><\/p>\n On this album Peltomaa and Ensemble Gamut! have invited two guests: sound artist Tuomas Norvio and visual artist Vappu Rossi. Through their contributions we get to enjoy new possibilites of live electronics on this release. Norvio manipulates the sounds of Vappu Rossi\u2019s drawing in real time, merging melodies and drawings inspired by Arctic flowers into a soundscape where the planes of time, the living, the dead, history, the present moment, the past and the future all resonate simultaneously.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ensemble Gamut!: Tuomas Norvio | live electronics Ensemble Gamut! has quickly emerged as one of Finland\u2019s most interesting ensembles that move fluidly between genres.
