Barlast (Swedish for ballast) creates spacious new world music. The silence can be heard between the notes. Everything unnecessary is stripped away. Only the name remains as ballast.

Barlast (suomeksi painolasti) luo uutta ilmavaa maailmanmusiikkia, jonka taustalla kuuluu hiljaisuus. Tarpeeton on riisuttu pois. Ainoastaan nimestä tuli painolasti.

Barlast skapar ny världsmusik som luftar tystnaden. Allt överflödigt är borta. Endast namnet är barlast.

Mirt is an electro-acoustic project made up of the joint forces of the Finnish singer Minttu Hellstén and the Icelandic cellist Björt Rùnars.  The focus is on a strong melody sung by voice and cello complimented with loops recorded live, keyboards and prerecorded rhythms.  The force of the music is an emotional mixture of powerful melodic essence with atmospheric texture details.
