MI by Ensemble Gamut!

MI is an exploration of the boundary between the living and the non-living, asking what is alive and what has already faded into extinction. I’m dedicating this album to flowers, more specifically Arctic endangered flowers.

This album weaves together medieval repertoire - Bridgettine chants and the works of Hildegard von Bingen - with my own compositions and texts inspired by Arctic flowers. I hope that through these themes I can bridge together elements of music and memory, echoing the fragile yet persistent nature of our cultural and ecological heritage. Lost, rediscovered. Destroyed, vanished, rescued.

The name of the album MI refers to Micranthes stellaris as well as my piece Mieli meni (“And so the Mind Went”), creating a dialogue between different mental states and the beauty of the nature around us. MI is also the third note of the Gamut scale.

Thank you for your support <3
