Biography

Singer-musician Mia Simanainen released a unique solo album based on poems by Helvi Juvonen in March 2020.

Mia Simanainen found Helvi Juvonen's poems when she was 39 years old - the same age as Juvonen herself died of sickness. The poems spoke to Simanainen in a such a deep level that she wanted to compose an album based on Juvonen's work.

Organic and utopian soundscapes are almost entirely created by recorded and modified vocals of Simanainen. Ideas and music were finished with sound designer Joonas Ojutkoski. Ten songs include poetry and atmospheric sound visions.
