This is a musical journey to the shores of imagined inner lands and to the forests of hopes and dreams. These songs represent the picture of continents that I’ve not visited yet. From the northern Scandinavia I include here some moments of beauty of my country, the nature, cities and villages.

October 2007.
It’s getting cold. It’s autumn in Finland. Freezing wind blows from Itameri-the sea. Diverse rain washing the streets of Helsinki as I sit here on this terrace in the town of Mwanza, Tanzania as an only white man. The sun heats the sand and rocks of the streets of this beautiful city. Slow walking, warm, relaxed people having Tilapia-fish for dinner, sitting in the shadow, listening Passion fm-radio channels retro discosoul-sounds.

One continent at a time goes in the blood and changes the view of life and the songs. I’m here in the beginning of a new era of understanding Gods great work. It’s the little fly on my arm greeting me, smelling my sweaty heated skin, as I melt here on the sun.

The songs of Suudelmitar are some coloured dreams gone to the past as the page turns to the future. For me they are the opening act for the real knowing and understanding foreign cultures as they appear in the common everyday life and music.

At the beginning Suudelmitar was meant to be a little guitar/vocal compilation of songs, but in some point somehow it turned out this orchestral thing. Well, that’s the way it goes, can’t control it… You meet here in these songs some of the best musicians of Finland, my close friend and loved ones. I wish You enjoy the songs of Suudelmitar, and I wish peace, lots of love and happy days in Your life.
