Summer has begun and I’m enjoying my first true vacation as a teacher. Two and a half months of pure relaxation and bliss with salary. Have to say I’m pretty content 
And with happiness and relaxation comes inspiration! Two new Project Divinity releases for you my friends of ambient! Triosphere and Beyond. Hope you enjoy them!
Project Divinity’s album Divinity got it’s first official review from finnish noise.fi webmagazine. It is sadly written in finnish, but you can find it here in any case.
As a summary I’m very happy for it, the writer understood the project and it’s main influences correctly, analyzed it honestly and wrote the article with sense of detail and warmth.
The album can be gotten either from Jamendo.com or as a physical version from levyvirasto.net.
Ambient, music, but not music. It elates to me in very similar way like gothic and soundtrack music. It offers a concrete space for listener to enter and dwell, drift away from the reality and sense of now.
Project Divinity follows the footsteps of Biosphere and Vangelis. Drifting electronic soundscapes that aspire to create visual environments musically.

Melancholic, atmospheric music is one of my favourite genres. I guess it began from that early moment in my life when I first heard Joy Division. There was something utterly, devastatingly beautiful in that minimalistic way the band managed to create powerful emotions and visions and I was hooked ever since. 80s gothic, post-rock, new wave, all these mean the same thing to me.
Frozen Silence is sort of a bastard child of gothic rock and classical music. While the general feel is quite minimalistic and pure, the atmosphere and feel bow more towards the gothic music than classical in it’s simplicity and rawness. Most of the tunes are produced at nighttime via improvisation and "one take per track" recording style, that mimics live performance. Similar artists include Kings of Convenience, Tori Amos, Nick Cave,

Orchestral soundtrack music has always been close to my heart. I guess it is related to my most basic personal attributes and processes, like my tendency to enjoy reading fantasy literature, watch sci-fi series and hold green values in high regard. I tend to chase experiences that yield associations, images and visualize the inner mythical realm of imagination.
With Celestial Aeon Project I follow the footsteps of such composers as Jeremy Soule, Michael Hoenig, Nobuo Uematsu, John Williams, Hans Zimmer and Alan Silvestri, to name a few. While my musical knowledge and theoretical basis is totally flawed, I hope I manage to at least in some way capture feelings and images in the soundscapes. If the listener manages to listen to the piece without feeling urgent need to vomit and even finds his imagination picking up hints from the soundscape, as a composer my work is done.
