I got this as a trade item, again. What can I say, I love trading it`s a great way to receive cool stuff. Never heard of Jarmo Sermila before, so I google it. Turns out he`s a 74 years old Finnish composer. He`s a specialist in chamber and electroacoustic music. Oh man, another old geezer doing some weird ass pseudo- intellectual electroacoustic wanking.s So I thought. And boy was I wrong. You can`t judge a book by it`s cover indeed. This is a short (15 minutes) five tracks mini-album. This is smooth, relaxing beatless electronic music. There` s a good variety of subtle, rhythmic melodies which gives this album a light, introspective, mysterious, dreamy at times atmospheric feel. This is music for fairy tales.
I never heard anything like this before. I have this old split tape from the early eighties featuring Hartmann (on one side) and Bourbonese Qualk (on the other side) which sounds at times remotely similar. I`m sorry but that`s the only reference I can come up with.
