Violetear

This is an incoming Jean Nine release for Kahvi Collective named Violetear. It is a five track release containing some sort of dubstep: Dark but mellow mood, sparse rhythms mixed with strings and things. You can already download and listen to these beats now at last.fm if you can't wait for the official release, which will happen some time next year (Kahvi has a new policy of releasing only one album/ep a month to gain more attention for individual releases thus delaying the release of this EP).

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.
