Performer Biography
Mikko Perkola, a Finnish viola da gamba player, composer, and singer, performs with groups like Phantasm and the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra, and uses effects in contemporary solo performances.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The group explores chants by Hildegard von Bingen (a 12th-century German abbess, writer, composer, and mystic) and Pérotin (a 12th-13th century French composer), along with 14th-century pilgrimage songs, to create links between eras.
Interpretation
The Trio Peltomaa Fraanje Perkola combines human voice, piano, viola da gamba, electronic effects, and medieval harp, drawing inspiration from medieval music.
Interpretation
The trio is fascinated by how medieval melodies and texts resonate today, and how the 'power of now' shapes their improvisations and compositions centuries later.
Recording & Production
The album was recorded in November 2019 at St. Lawrence Chapel in Vantaa, Finland.
Performer Biography
Aino Peltomaa, a Finnish singer and musician, performs medieval, renaissance, contemporary music, and free improvisation, often combining elements from early music, folk music, and jazz.
