Continuing his long-term exploration of the theme of resonance from both physical and metaphorical perspectives, the starting point for this album was to explore the natural resonance of outdoor spaces and the ways they might affect the musical outcomes. Recordings took place by the sea and in a rock cave hidden amongst a forest in Helsinki, as well as in the natural environment of Aotearoa / New Zealand.
The natural resonance of these places intertwines with ambient sounds emanating from nature and human made sources, which all contribute to and have an impact on the resulting music and sonic landscape, including a series of solo prepared double bass pieces. A further aspect of resonance emerges through three intercultural duos with musicians from diverse cultural and musical backgrounds, exploring points of resonance between the musicians, as well as between the musicians and environment around them.
