Talvihorros - Little Pieces Of Discarded Life

"Bats" was composed for the "We need a voice" compilation, created by AZH Promo based in Kiev, Ukraine. The compilation's goal is to spread awareness about the political and social situation in that country.

Even though  Ukraine belongs to Europe geographically, it has little in common with the rest of the continent - with the omnipresent oppression of the political opposition, corruption, as well as violence and kidnapings of those who stand against the government. The people of Ukraine need our support - a song is nearly not enough...

Yume

[Electronic/Indie/Uplifting/Ambient]-"Yume"

From VA - Sleeplaboratory1​.​0 by Whitelabrecs label
https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/album/sleeplaboratory10

‘Sleeplaboratory1.0’ is a sixteen track cross section of modern Ambient artists touching on everything from minimalist drone and modern classical cinematics to electro acoustic and synth influenced works. It is released in a run of 100 physical copies, as we’ve chosen to create a ‘gatefold LP’ styled CD package, complete with beautiful artwork provided over 4 panels by our regular collaborator Federica Jeanne de Luca. The album is also available digitally in a range of formats, carefully mastered by Tim Diagram who also contributes a track as Maps and Diagrams. 

This album is intended as a relaxing companion for either conscious or sub-conscious listening, with contributing artists briefed to create something vacant which is likely to induce sleep. Harry selected the artists with the theme in mind and to help them understand his vision, he shared a link to Janek Schaefer’s ‘Lay-by Lullaby’ released on 12k back in 2014. It is an album which has been a huge part of his personal sleep routine, with him playing it at low volume on his iPod in bed ever since it was released so it seemed to be the perfect starting point. 

Harry’s motivation behind creating this sleepy album was primarily due to his fascination on the relationship between Ambient music and sleep: Robert Rich, Max Richter and Tanner Menard all performed notable sleep concerts for starters. Harry was particularly honoured when Janek Schaefer agreed to provide the opening track to this accumulation of calming works and it was he that introduced the National Geographic edition at the time which had a large article about the science of sleep and how it sits in modern society. 
Additionally, Harry was expecting the arrival of his first child during the production stages of Sleeplaboratory1.0 and he wanted the album to be particularly calming for babies. 

We will not make any recommendation on how our listeners might best enjoy this record and so it’s down to you to choose the best environment to listen, whether this be late at night with headphones, on a loud system or perhaps played through Bluetooth speakers in and around your home.

Gala Dust (Piano Day 2019)

From the new album "By the River": https://valotihkuu.bandcamp.com/album/by-the-river

During the album recording sessions, I limited myself to a certain setup: electric guitar, looper, delay/reverb pedal, and a 4-track portable tape recorder. This helped me to concentrate on expressing the moods instead of being distracted by the necessity of choosing the instrument and timbre. Each track was a result of a single recording session. By means of sound, I tried to express some sort of a “stream” feeling; that’s why it was important to me to stay in this state myself, not to ruin the general picture and make the album as solid as possible.

By the River

Evening Breeze

From the new album "Winter Lullabies": valotihkuu.bandcamp.com/album/winter-lullabies

In the blue night
frost haze, the sky glows
with the moon
pine tree tops
bend snow-blue, fade
into sky, frost, starlight.
The creak of boots.
Rabbit tracks, deer tracks,
what do we know.

("Pine tree tops" by Gary Snyder

Winter Lullabies

Glittering Flakes

"Moonflowers" is an exploration of repetition and organic sounds. Fragments of delicate melody and harmony are decayed and obscured over time. Emotions frozen in the present. Flower and expand in the silhouette of the full moon.

Valotihkuu is the sound of light seeping through the foliage, captured on magnetic tape. A fragile collage of field recordings, wobbly synths, and timid melodies drawing inspiration from childhood memories and fleeting moments in nature
