Ouranos – under the Firmament – album release concert

The musicians’ improvisation and creation of atmosphere play a major role in everything.

The word ‘Ouranos’ is Greek and means the firmament. Each piece in this project describes phenomena happening above the Earth’s surface that we may not see, but still sense as elements affecting our lives. The sound is ethereal and ballad-like, perfectly suited to the atmosphere and acoustics of Hakasalmi Villa.

Album publisher: Willa Silva Records Oy
