New CD: Soundscape stories from Finland out now!

To order visit Granum virtual book store at


This collection contains both urban atmospheres and sonic memories as well as more rare sounds which due to cultural and infrastructural changes are in danger of disappearance. Take a sonic journey travelling through all four seasons from the capital city Helsinki to northern Lapland. Visit a ski jumping competition and the carpet washers by the sea. Hear the snow tumbling down in silence of the forest, school children sing the Summer hymn and finally sit down to enjoy the sauna.

The CD is produced in collaboration between TAMK University of Applied Sciences and the Finnish Society for Acoustic Ecology.
