What is new in my music library? (recent purchases I enjoy)

Ánnámáret, Ilkka Heinonen, Turkka Inkilä - Bálvvosbáiki​

"Bálvvosbáiki is part of a series of works that is the result of a Sámi-Finnish collaboration between media artist Marja Viitahuhta and musicians Ánnámáret (yoik), Ilkka Heinonen (jouhikko) and Turkka Inkilä (electronic music). The working group has been convened since 2019 by the Sámi musician Ánnámáret. The video works visualize the objects and concepts of the yoiks, working together with the soundscape intertwined with them.

According to Ánnámáret, the background of the yoik heard in Bálvvosbáiki (place of worship) is a reflection on how the Sámi worldview manifests itself in our contemporary time. According to it, people are part of their environment, not its owners but its users and carers, taking into account the heritage of past generations and preserving the conditions of life for future generations. The land, plants, animals and people together form a whole, the components of which are interdependent. Places of worship played an important role in the nature-centered worshiping and religion of the Sámi people in the pre-Christian period."

Strangely enough I have found this "album" to be unexpectedly worth listening to, and I'm not big on "meditative" works. Recording quality is excellent as well ! i venture to guess that SadGuru is a secret audiophile:cool: of sorts.
