Saha plays the Kantele, a traditional Finnish acoustic instrument which can have five, ten, fifteen, or thirty-six strings, and which is plucked like a zither or harp, producing a delicate string sound. Following their two very limited studio albums on UK label Riot Season, \u003ci\u003eKonsertti I\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent recording of the group in live performance, capturing their understated and beautiful mix of ambient, electronic, and string music. Saha’s Kantele centers the music, sometimes plucking out melodic arpeggios, at others blending in with the burbling-but-subtle electronic and electric guitar backdrop. Doesn’t really sound like anything else, but recommended to fans of AR and Machines, Ash Ra Temple, Richter Band, Durutti Column, etc. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VHF","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50442856792395,"sku":"2201121","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/getImage-2.php_60e70795_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727005551"},{"product_id":"musiikki-2","title":"Musiikki 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eMahti are a Finnish four-piece group presenting a unique mixture of ambient- rock, electronic music and traditional Finnish-Karelian music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLengthy semi-improvisational pieces are built on top of complex, hypnotic grooves which are layered with opaque guitars and strangely soothing noise elements.
