“This is a Psychedelic Prog Rock album based on my surrealistic poems I have written some 20 years ago. All music is written, performed and produced by me, with the wonderful participation of Anna Aronpuro (main vocalist in Ulmar Kanion), Kalle Rinne (guitar in Telperion and Kalabalik) and Henri Takkinen (cello in Kalabalik).“
“The Canon of All Great Escapists” tells a story about a creative individual’s struggles in the real world and the conflict between everyday challenges and internal pain of creation. On a metaphorical level it celebrates the power of imagination and endless possibilities of alternative realities.
