An immersive song with voice, finger piano and soundscapes. This song is in Finnish. Poetic translation in English below:

Decaying Mass

I don’t know if anyone has been lost in a bog
But you can stuck your feet in wet peat in a way
That it’s difficult to get up on your own

It’s difficult to get up on your own

Bog bog bog bog bog bog bog bog bog bog bog
Bog bog bog bog bog bog bog bog bog bog bog

Bog here and a bottomless marsh there
Wetland, wetland everywhere 

I haven’t died nor am I alive
I haven’t died nor am I alive

Soggy mass, no matter what
Soggy mass, no matter what
Soggy mass, no matter what
Soggy mass, no matter what

I could lay in your arms
Decay in your charms
I could lay in your arms
Decay in your charms
Just for a while

I haven’t died nor am I alive
I haven’t died nor am I alive

Decaying mass, no matter what
Decaying mass, no matter what
Decaying mass, no matter what
Decaying mass, no matter what

I could lay in your arms
Decay in your charms
I could lay in your arms
Decay in your charms
Just for a while

I don’t know if anyone has been lost in a bog

Hajoava Massa (Decaying Mass)

This Soundscape contains GarageBand midi sounds, field recordings of Sorsapuisto and Liisanpuisto in Tampere (tram, cars, bikes, walking sounds on gravel, voices, birds) and field recording of swans communicating. I suggest you listen to it with headphones.

Sävellys, sovitus ja laulu: Anna-Kaisa Vuorinen
Sanat: Kanteletar
Sello: Hanna Kilpinen

Ei itke iso minua
ei emo pane pahaksi
ei kastu kasvot sisaren
ei sulhon silmä vettä vieri
Ei vaikka joutuisin jokehen
ei vaikka vierisin vetehen
ei vaikka menisin merehen
Koti toivoi kuolevaksi
Suku surmaksi rupesi
heimo hengen ottajaksi
kurkkuni kuristajaksi
ääneni äristäjäksi
Suku on muuttunut sueksi
Suku on muuttunut sueksi

Lauluni alkuperäinen teksti on Elias Lönnrotin kokoamasta Kalevalan sisarteoksesta Kanteletar. Sovitin tekstin ja sävelsin kappaleen U.H.M.A. Ensemblen esitykseen Anna Liisan yöt vuonna 2017.
