In search of new ways to perform early music.
Another highlight was the concert of the superb Ensemble Gamut!, which could be described as medieval ethno-minimalism. — Fresh and imaginative.
– Mats Liljeroos / Östnyland
Ensemble Gamut! is a fresh, experimental collective of early music and folk music specialists, who are constantly searching for new ways to perform early music. Led by Aino Peltomaa, they have created their unique sound by combining and daringly rearranging elements from medieval music and Finnish folk songs with improvisation and electronic soundscapes.
“The characteristic of Ensemble Gamut’s class is their unique sound. The result is a kind of artistic mysticism, combining the timeless relevance of Hildegard von Bingen’s work with contemporary art in the broadest sense. Aino’s singing blends perfectly with the instruments and added electronic sounds. The final effect is as fascinating as it is coherent. The story of Gamut! begins its journey in the darkness of the Middle Ages and takes us to a sonic universe beyond time and space.”
