Antti Paalanen creates his wild music on the accordions so familiar to Finnish folkmusic. Although inspired by tradition, Paalanen has nevertheless created a sound world all his own, where tradition gives way to trance-like minimalism, EDM influenced beats, influences of Siberian throat-singing and controlled and insightful use of modern sound technology.
Antti Paalanen has performed successfully in Europe, Japan and Canada since the 2014 release of album Meluta. The new album Rujo was released by Rockadillo Records in Finland in May and it is getting fantastic reviews. Its release date in continental Europe was July.
