Menneet
(The Past) Nordic Notes
'Menneet’ album tells stories of courage, meaningful meetings, of personal space, and seeing one’s boundaries; about the things that prevent us from being free, and those that hold us back; facing and dealing with the things that stop us from pursuing our dreams and doing the things we enjoy.
- Maija Kauhanen vocals, kantele, and percussion
All music composed and performed by Maija Kauhanen
Produced by Maija Kauhanen & Helmi Camus
Recorded and mixed by Samuli Volanto / Matkastudio
Mastered by Jarno Alho / Alho Audio Mastering

Menneet CD
‘Raivopyörä’ deals with the fates of women: the stories of challenging relationships, domestic violence and child-brides are unflinchingly portrayed, but there is also joy, consolation, hope and the mystery of young love to be celebrated.
- Maija Kauhanen vocals, kantele, and percussion
Produced by Colin Bass
Recorded and mixed by Joonas Saikkonen
Mastered by Jaakko Viitalähde / Virtalähde Mastering
