It approaches sound as a poetic medium, focusing both on the experience of sound as form and energy and on a loosely narrative arc, suggesting a riddle on the relations between the sounds. It implements alternative as well as intuitive tunings, analog and digital synthesis, recordings of sonorous spaces and vessels, electromagnetic fields transduced into audio, acoustic close-ups of elements in motion and other field recordings. Fluently connecting quite diverse sound sources, Ahti's music lingers in a zone between abstract sonorities and vaguely familiar acoustic environments.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe first half of the album consists of ”The Altitudes”, a piece commissioned by Ina GRM for Présences Électronique and Sonic Acts. It was inspired by descriptions of the layers of Earth's atmosphere. Imagining a movement through layers of air, the piece unfolds with a slow intensity, interweaving concrete sounds and closely tuned electronic sonorities. Traversing the altitudes, a landscape of entangled elements, masses and currents emerges. The air around us has weight and it presses against everything it\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e touches. As gravity pulls it to Earth, it is sensed as pressure. The rotation of the planet, the angle of the sun at any new moment sets the elements in motion in a chain reaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe other side consists of four shorter pieces. ”The Currents” opens with a dance of trembling charged movements. ”Lost Lake” extracts resonant tones from a trail of close-up recordings of winter environments, while ”Fluctuating Streams” channels streaming air in different forms. The closing track, ”Sundial”, could be construed as the steady turning of the planetary angle towards the sun, unfolding through fragments of everyday activity against the backdrop of piercing, slowly twisting, suspended tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarja Ahti (b. 1981) is a musician and composer based in Turku, Finland. Originally from Sweden, Ahti has been a part of the Finnish experimental music scene for more than ten years in different constellations. She is currently active in the duo Ahti \u0026amp; Ahti with her partner and as a member of the Himera artist\/organizer collective. Her critically acclaimed 2019 solo debut, Vegetal Negatives, explored a new formal language and sonic palette inspired by a short text by René Daumal.\"\u003cbr\u003e- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003eHallow Ground\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Marja Ahti\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Hallow Ground\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-03-19T15:41:55+09:00","created_at":"2021-03-13T16:08:35+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["drone","hallow ground","lp","monooto","new"],"price":296000,"price_min":296000,"price_max":296000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39372296847525,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Marja Ahti \/\/ The Current Inside LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":296000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/ma1_e8df93fa-977a-4e3f-98bc-f7f5b0b22bc1.jpg?v=1615619316","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/ma2_11e36d7c-5180-4b84-a2a9-30a112cb294c.jpg?v=1615619317"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/ma1_e8df93fa-977a-4e3f-98bc-f7f5b0b22bc1.jpg?v=1615619316","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":20700190081189,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/ma1_e8df93fa-977a-4e3f-98bc-f7f5b0b22bc1.jpg?v=1615619316"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/ma1_e8df93fa-977a-4e3f-98bc-f7f5b0b22bc1.jpg?v=1615619316","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":20700190113957,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.412,"height":850,"width":1200,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/ma2_11e36d7c-5180-4b84-a2a9-30a112cb294c.jpg?v=1615619317"},"aspect_ratio":1.412,"height":850,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/ma2_11e36d7c-5180-4b84-a2a9-30a112cb294c.jpg?v=1615619317","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eフィンランドの作曲家Marja AhtiによるHallow Groundからは2作目のアルバム。物音ドローン4曲を収録。DLコード付属。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1559662892\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The Current Inside”, Marja Ahti's sophomore album for Hallow Ground, plays with the theme of currents - connecting and animating movements in the form of air, water and electricity. It approaches sound as a poetic medium, focusing both on the experience of sound as form and energy and on a loosely narrative arc, suggesting a riddle on the relations between the sounds. It implements alternative as well as intuitive tunings, analog and digital synthesis, recordings of sonorous spaces and vessels, electromagnetic fields transduced into audio, acoustic close-ups of elements in motion and other field recordings. Fluently connecting quite diverse sound sources, Ahti's music lingers in a zone between abstract sonorities and vaguely familiar acoustic environments.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe first half of the album consists of ”The Altitudes”, a piece commissioned by Ina GRM for Présences Électronique and Sonic Acts. It was inspired by descriptions of the layers of Earth's atmosphere. Imagining a movement through layers of air, the piece unfolds with a slow intensity, interweaving concrete sounds and closely tuned electronic sonorities. Traversing the altitudes, a landscape of entangled elements, masses and currents emerges. The air around us has weight and it presses against everything it\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e touches. As gravity pulls it to Earth, it is sensed as pressure. The rotation of the planet, the angle of the sun at any new moment sets the elements in motion in a chain reaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe other side consists of four shorter pieces. ”The Currents” opens with a dance of trembling charged movements. ”Lost Lake” extracts resonant tones from a trail of close-up recordings of winter environments, while ”Fluctuating Streams” channels streaming air in different forms. The closing track, ”Sundial”, could be construed as the steady turning of the planetary angle towards the sun, unfolding through fragments of everyday activity against the backdrop of piercing, slowly twisting, suspended tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarja Ahti (b. 1981) is a musician and composer based in Turku, Finland.
