why we love this
Translated as "groundbreaking" or "excavation" in English, this record boldly departs from conventional norms, forging its own path as Niko-Matti Ahti explores electronic elements, lush yet intentionally dissonant orchestrations, and raw organic textures.
about the record
"Kaivajaiset" is Niko-Matti Ahti's first solo recording, initially conceived as an installation.
Exhibited in B-Galleria in Turku (2019) and 3H+K in Pori (2020), "Kaivajaiset" drew inspiration from The Diggers' 1649 pamphlet and Michel Foucault's extension of Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of genealogy. The installation featured sounds, opinion pieces, a print copy of the pamphlet, and four cardboard collages.
This record serves as a summary of the installation's sounds, combining vivid foley and domestic recordings with oration and classical instrumentation to create an expansive, narrative, and thrilling composition.
