Aino Peltomaa is a Finnish singer and musician known for her distinctive work across medieval, renaissance, contemporary and improvised music. Her artistic approach weaves together early music traditions with folk, jazz, electronics, and visual arts, creating evocative and genre-defying projects.

Peltomaa leads and co-leads several ensembles, including Peltomaa Fraanje Perkola, Ensemble Gamut!, Amor Céu, Harmony of the Spheres, ´k:amos. She has released numerous critically acclaimed albums on labels such as Outhere Music, Eclipse Music, Aspen Edities, and Alba Records. Her projects are regularly featured on international stages and radio, with appearances across Europe.

Recent releases include Komorebi and ÆR (Peltomaa Fraanje Perkola), hailed by The Guardian as ”quizzical, drone-based experimental miniatures,” and selected as Album of the Week by Musiq3 (RTBF, France). UT (Ensemble Gamut!) was recognized by Finland’s YLE as one of the best classical albums of 2021 and awarded ”The Early Music Achievement of the Year”, while also being named one of the top progressive music albums of 2020 by The Progressive Aspect. The group’s follow-up album RE was nominated for ”Ethno Album of the Year” at the Finnish Emma Gaala awards.

Peltomaa is a member of the Finnish Chamber Choir, and her multifaceted work extends to wellness and pedagogy: she leads retreats that integrate Gregorian chant, yoga, and meditation. She holds Master of Arts degrees in Music and Psychology.

”The first thing that strikes you is the startling beauty and purity of Aino Peltomaa’s soprano voice, taking its lead from Gregorian chant, Hildegard von Bingen and traditional folk. It emerges from an eclectic mix of instrumentation, archaic but also innovative, echo adding a mysterious edge.”
— Jez Rowden, The Progressive Aspect

Juho Myllylä is a recorder player, guitarist, singer and songwriter. He studied recorders at the Conservatory of Amsterdam with Jorge Isaac, and graduated with a master’s degree in 2020.

Juho works with the world-renowned renaissance recorder ensemble The Royal Wind Music since 2016. With the Finnish Ensemble Gamut! Juho is in constant search for new ways to perform early music through the fusion of medieval and renaissance music, folk music, improvisation and electronics. Their critically acclaimed debut album UT was released on Eclipse Music in 2020, followed by RE in 2022 and most recently MI in 2025. Juho has also performed solo recitals of new music at such festivals and venues as Grachtenfestival, Gaudeamus, November Music and Rewire as well as the prestigious Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and released a solo album Herder’s Herd featuring new works for recorders and electronics in 2025.

Winner of the Nordic and Baltic EAR-ly 2016 early music competition, and of the International Van Wassenaer Competition 2019, Juho strives for open-minded musicianship across styles and versatility regardless of imposed genre classifications. He feels passionate about earlier repertoire – medieval and renaissance music, yet is especially interested in the recorders’ countless possibilities in contemporary and new music and working with composers, with a steadily growing number of new works written for and premiered by him. Jazz, fusion, rock, prog, experimental, electro-acoustic, live electronic, soundtrack and film music are an integral part of his musical landscape. During his studies at the Conservatory of Amsterdam Juho minored in electric guitar, studying with Hans Kunneman, and is, besides recorder playing, guitarist-singer-songwriter for the progressive alternative rock band Burntfield.

Vappu Rossi is a visual and media artist working in Helsinki, Finland. She is a contemporary drawing artist pushing boundaries, inspired by experimental challenges, movement drawing, live drawing, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Rossi is nominated for the Below Zero Finnish Art Award 2025, and she was the Fine Arts Academy of Finland Prize Nominee 2022. Her work has been exhibited in museums, galleries, and festivals around the world since the late 1990s. 

Rossi has held 24 solo exhibitions and taken part over 70 group exhibitions and festivals. Her artworks can be found in many important collections. Rossi has a master’s degree from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts. Besides her work as an independent artist, she is leading the Art Room in the University of Helsinki, being the first female Drawing Master in the University’s history.

Rossi’s work finds form in a variety of media: drawings, paintings, installations, light boxes, and animations. She’s known for her expressive depictions of movement and large-scale studies of human face. In her cross-art projects, she has worked with prominent choreographers, dancers, and musicians, as well as with many theaters, museums, and other art institutions.

Rossi’s media art animations are often slightly humorous and subtile both in colour and soundscape. Reflections on change and the passage of time, as well as the visualization of slow processes or magical metamorphoses, are recurring elements in her works. She’s always intrigued to test her limits.
