Uusinta Ensemble, Eija Kankaanranta, Maria Puusaari, Olga Heikkila, Kamus Quartet - Osmo Tapio Raihala: Zensolence

Zensolence embodies the auditory canvas of Osmo Tapio Raihala, a synaesthetic composer who transforms the visual into the musical. For Raihala, art forms transcend their mediums and speak a universal language through diverse expressions. His experience of colours, shapes and textures in music is reflected in this eclectic album, where the traditional meets the innovative. Raihala draws inspiration from the abstract and translates it into a musical lexicon that is as diverse as it is distinctive.

From chamber music with modern instrumentation to pieces that combine vocal narrative with electronic sounds, this album is a testament to artistic freedom and a refusal to be limited.
