Heikki Laitinen, Martti Pokela, Hannu Saha - Soitimella-New Music for Five-string kantele (1986) CD Vinyl Thanks to all the artistsWith origins buried deep in the Finnish Karelian folk imagination, it is said to have been first built by Vinminen, the mythical shaman hero of the Kalevala, from the jawbone of a giant pike. In a catalogue perhaps better known for its out there heavy metal, seismic noise rock and overall outsider sonic extremities, Soitimella (Ektro 156) arrives like a hush in a whirlwind, a solemn breath of air echoing through the iron aged pine.
