This is my
second time listening to Olli Aarni and it feels like every time I experience
this music it only gets better. Aarni
has this general static sort of ambient sound going on in the background almost
constantly, but then there are also electronic bits and pieces (amidst other
noises) on the forefront.
I could
probably listen to this cassette a hundred different times and come up with
just as many scenarios for you as to what is going on here, but the one that I
have garnered and like best so far for this cassette is as follows.
There is a
fairly distinctive field recording sound to this. It doesn't exactly sound like it was recorded
in a field specifically, but rather that it be done in a studio or at home and
made to sound like a field recording.
On top of this, you have noises that sound like the breeze or trees
doing something, but yet they give you that overall forest feel.
The thing
is, these sounds are fairly electronic in nature as well, so as much as I think
of them as being leaves rustling from some furry woodland creature, I also feel
as if it is all taking place in a virtual reality. Yes, perhaps the day has finally come and
the only trees left in existence are holograms.
In any
event, this imagery is certain to paint some sort of picture in your mind,
whether it be linked to the present or perhaps foreshadowing. Either way though, I definitely see this as
being nothing but hopeful.
