"... a tranquil and immersive listening experience which transcends boundaries." - Folk Radio UK

Real Music for Unreal Times by Kumea Sound is the second album by the Finnish sound artist Lauri Wuolio. Kumea Sound’s self-titled debut album (2013) was also structured around the instrument named handpan, or cupola.

On the new album all post-production processes are stripped away and a sense of deep passion and commitment to his instrument is transmitted from Wuolio’s playing. "I wanted the album to reveal something instead of trying to hide mistakes", Wuolio says. "Apart from mixing, nothing was changed or added after the recordings."

Even the haunting reverb was created and captured live in the studio with a complex setup of speaker arrays and experimental 360 degree microphones. The reverb itself was sampled in the historical Russian monastery of Solovetsky.

The recording of an instrument that has an exceptionally rich sound has turned out to be quite a challenge. Real Music for Unreal Times may so far be the most ambitious attempt to capture the full sound spectrum of the young instrument in all its history.

Real Music for Unreal times is a meditative counteraction to the experience of soullessness. Simultaneously timeless and contemporary, this acoustic percussion work reminds us of how rich and complex music may derive from a simple starting point.

به مجنون گفت روزی ساربانی                           چرا بیهوده در صحرا روانی
اگر داری تو با لیلی سر و کار                              بود آن بی وفا با دیگران یار
سر و زلفش به دست دیگران است                   تو را بیهوده در صحرا روان است
ز حرف ساربان مجنون فغان کرد                        برایش این رباعی را بیان کرد
درخت بی ثمر هر کس نشاند                             علاج درد مجنون را نداند
میان عاشق و معشوق رمزیست                       چه داند آن که اشتر می چراند

This is an extract of a little jam and was actually the warm-up for a music-meditation-journey rehearsal. Good, that we also tried out our new recording equipment...

It has been a very interesting process to record these Scandinavian lullabies in the desert of New Mexico. Among cactus, red sand and burning sun I have fallen in love with the melancholy of the north. I remember these songs from growing up in Norway, but singing them now gives me an experience of how the depth of darkness and the clarity of light can exist at the same time in one song. And in this way it reflects what is so much a part of the northern countries, - light and darkness that show up in such extreme ways. The songs have brought these two opposites together for me, letting our dark and light sides exist in the same space, through the tenderness of the lullabye. I hope you will have your own unique experience as you listen to these songs from the land where the days are dark and the nights are light.
