FINNISH-SWEDISH FLUTE ENSEMBLE TUULTENPESÄ RELEASES THEIR DEBUT ALBUM VINDSTILLA

In Tuultenpesä’s music, you can hear an array of historical and contemporary flutes, recorders and whistles, joined in from time to time by vocals. The repertoire is based on the Nordic and Finno-Ugric folk music traditions, improvisations and new compositions. Meditatively floating, rocking and breathing, or transiently pulsating and swirling, their music invites to enjoy the colorful timbres and moods dozens of flutes can offer.
