“Valoton Project” out now

My new album, Valoton Project, is out today, dear friends. I hope you like it.
You can get it from Bandcamp and pay for it what you think it’s worth or get it from / stream on the usual services.

Bandcamp / Spotify / Apple Music / Google Play / Beatport / Tidal / Deezer  

I wanted to deviate from my usual stuff (there’s so much of it lined up already, so just wait!) and take a break from the norm.
As a music-maker, I want to be exploring new avenues, as I think that’s best for longevity.
Sometimes you have to travel paths less trodden and go against what others might expect. An artist willing to be in the game for the long run needs to evolve and expand, and this is how. Expect the unexpected.
This album was something I wrote during the darkest winter hours – hence the name, “Valoton”, which is Finnish for Lightless. Musical escapism therapy at its best.
If you find this something you like, please do share it.

Thoughts to music makers and to music fans

Thoughts to all musicmakers:
We’re all struggling (if you’re trying to get heard, that is). It’s not easy for anyone. Today’s world is so oversaturated, thanks to the internet.
As my distributor put it this week (and they’ve seen the music game since the very beginning):
“Getting heard used to be hard due to the gatekeepers (DJ’s/labels), but that, on reflection, was a good thing, as it restricted the flow at the same time. Now the floodgates are open Continue reading Thoughts to music makers and to music fans →

Bandcamp subscription!

I have just enabled an annual subscription model for my Bandcamp: https://fanu.bandcamp.com/subscribe

This is to support an artist and to give him faith that music still sells and releasing is worth it.
This promotes a vibe that a hard-working music-maker can still get a part of his living from what he makes.

By subscribing, you’ll get all the music I’m releasing on my own and via Bandcamp for one full year. I will ALSO do some subscriber exclusive tracks.

You’ll also get immediate access to EVERYTHING I have up on my Bandcamp page!

You can *only* get the vinyl from that link; this is another Diggers Factory project (two records done with them successfully). Everyone ordering the record will be sent the digital files on release day.

This album is breaky, but slower tempo than you might expect.
It also has some beatless tracks in the end; that’s another path I want to explore.
A music-maker, I constantly want to evolve Continue reading “Valoton Project” vinyl album preorder →
