Spheres

Taken from Outlands (2019), a debut album by Aihio.

The album consists of 11 instrumental pieces that weave elements and influences from minimalism, experimental electronic music and West African musical styles into an impressionistic and atmospheric sound of their own.

The music features Petteri on Ginette – an electronic musical instrument designed and built by him and based on the French electronic instrument ondes Martenot, developed in 1928 – and Ilpo on “afrorithmic electronics" (afrobeat + algorithmic composition). The pieces have been improvised and recorded live in the studio with no overdubs.
