On The Border, from artists Tapani Rinne and Teho Majamäki, is the tenth album to be released on Signature Dark label.

Since the beginning, space and the sound of it has been one of the cornerstones of Tapani Rinne and Teho Majamäki's music. The two previous albums contain meditative music recorded in acoustically interesting and atmospheric locations - temples and caves in India, as well as deep underground in the railway tunnels of Helsinki's 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 Tapani's woodwinds.

In the finished pieces, the duo went towards free musical dialogue, in which the boundaries between improvisation and composed music become blurred and insignificant. Instead of listening to the sound of the space itself, musicians tuned in to listen to the vibration of the metal and wooden instruments. ”We focused on sensing the mutual resonance of the instruments and the sensitivity of the improvisation. A presence on the border of familiar and 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. Signature Dark record label was founded in May 2020 in Helsinki. The core of the label is to release dark, melancholic, minimalist and cinematic music. Genres such as ambient, drone and doom jazz are in the spotlight, but there’s always room for other material as well as long as it fits the big picture with everything starting from the experimental ground.

Installation

@ebi-soda "This is more of a selection of tunes which have inspired us over the years and more recently. We've included few artists from the UK who we feel are making great stuff, from local jazz groups such as Vels Trio and Brother's Testiment to more vocal/beat-based music with Bawo and Ojerime. The blend of jazz and UK rap-based genres has always been at the forefront of what we try to do and the Yussef Dayes remix of Frontline by Pa Salieu needed to be included as it was a great coming together of two musical worlds which influence our approach.

In general this mix is just made up of tunes which we love although we also felt the need to include some of our proudest moments from our recent project, Ugh, as well as a preview of our soon-to-be released remix of Jarami's Company. Cheers for listening!"
