All of a Sudden I Am Full of Scars

I have released my new album All of a Sudden I Am Full of Scars under my netlabel Kyoto Republic. It is a trip into dark downtempo, triphop and dubstep which beautifully sparks glimmer of hope here and there - only to collapse into the depths... Music for the armchair travellers of the darkening nights.

Here is a brief description of each track:

1. Landfills and Eternal Fall - The oldest track on this album. A triphop track from the pile of song ideas for an independent movie called Tiina. The name of the song refers to Leea Klemola's quote about my home town: Landfills, eternal fall and rebelling of teenagers.

2. Asphalt Ocean Lights - One of my first dubstep tracks. Does not try to push the boundaries too much and therefore succeeds well.

3. Sudden Disappearance - Melodic, melancholic dubstep downtempo whatever. Rhodes and violins forever!

4. Haunting Shadows - Slow, slow dive into despair. Beautiful, beautiful despair.

5. Premiere of The Night - Slowly progressing looming triphop. Tremolo violins and synths for the win!

6. Dedicated Thunder - This song was so much inspired by Portishead's Machine Gun, but comparing these two songs is so unfair.

7. Empathy Locks - There is always hope. And there is always scars. Locks for the open minded, locks for the empathy!

8. Sailor and The Star Burst - Periodically growing cinematic triphop. This song got the first place in Stream 2007 listening music competition.
