Tedium is modernity in the waiting phase. A longed-for moment of stasis.
A compilation of 23 tracks that shows us a rather wide spectrum including diverse manifestations of modern electronics. Boredom and neurosis that hold hands and become a chameleon-like whole.

Sometimes this combination draws its essence from obscure ambient demotivating, other times steals the body of enormous noisy and granular flows.

An emblematic sound vessel capable of containing everything from the sharpest electro-acoustic resonances to the most deformed deteriorations of hip hop imagery.

Push It

Million stars... There's something going on under the surface, are we still on a quest? So many questions...

The weather destroyed the grand piano. Now it waits solemnly on the charred remains of a pile of wooden debris.

Or did we lose the meaning?

Its keys are speckled with hues of hundred stars - touched by the many moons which have traveled through us.

If every person is worth a song, does it also apply to piano VST's?

We are its strings, spirals and thoughts, shaped by the moments and paths laid before and twisting ahead. (We are star bodies)

Drawn by the unexpected, asking for questions with not one beginning.

Composed, mixed and mastered by Henia Nikkilä and Jussi Hertz

The Trying That Broke 

Composed by me [Deuén] in my childhood home after playing in the snow. I had just traveled back from Texas, after SXSW, where I was playing bass in my friends band. 

At the keyboard--late--1am, pounding, clumsily, body cold from the snow. 

Performed by Vedantini Lakshminarayanan, I add a hand in at the end when there is not enough for 2. 

Thank you so much to Veda for your insight, talent, and ideas, in elevating this score. Like any piece I make there is an element of improv, an element of personality, soul.  It would not be the same without you.
