Abstract:

Program notes: Hyvat matkustajat (2014) (Finnish for 'Dear Travellers', but also for 'The Good Travellers') began life as a "sonic postcard from Finland", using soundscape field recordings from around the country. This turned out to be only the first stop on its journey, however. The original material was later further developed as material for sonic exploration and spectral transformations, with the external spaces of the original version taking a sharp digital turn inwards, to chart internal spectral landscapes, together with the soundmarks and soundscapes of its first incarnation. Everything in Hyvat matkustajat is made from the original field recordings which first gave birth to the piece.
