<\/a><\/h3>\nI guess Aleksi Myllykoski<\/a><\/em><\/strong> may not be a familiar name outside Finland\u2026 yet. He was featured earlier on Ambientblog with a few impressive releases together with Tapani Rinne<\/em>, such as Dark Days<\/a><\/em> from 2020. <\/p>\nMyllykoski <\/em><\/strong>is also the founder of the Signature Dark <\/em>label (which is also the title of the third track), specializing in presenting music \u2018that encapsulates the qualities of darkness, melancholy, minimalism, and cinematic essence\u2019<\/em>. And that is a great description of the music on this album. Dark and brooding ambient, or jazz noir if you prefer. More Silent<\/em> than Chaos<\/em>, by the way.<\/p>\nThe theme of the album is based on \u2018the idea of irreversible movement shaping the present moment\u2019<\/em>. <\/p>\n\u2018Change eventually occurs forcefully as tension escalates beyond limits. Irreversible transformation takes place, inevitably progressing change creates endless, slowly revealing chaos around us and in our daily lives. Only unpredictable change is permanent.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\nReading this one might expect music to represent that chaos, music with complex structures difficult to comprehend. But almost the opposite is true: most of the music is very calm, and slow. But there is also a gradually intensifying tension, inevitable and irreversible. <\/p>\n
Silent Chaos<\/em><\/strong> is Myllykoski\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> solo album, but he gets some help from Tapani Rinne<\/em><\/strong> playing saxophone on two tracks. The Signature Dark <\/em>track also features Heikki Lindgren <\/em>playing the jouhikko<\/a>, a two- or three-stringed instrument from Finland and Karelia. The album is skillfully mastered by Ian Hawgood<\/em>.<\/p>\nCurrently, Silent Chaos<\/em><\/strong> is only available as a digital download, but it will also be available on vinyl later (though it is not yet known when that will be).<\/p>\n
