Sielue, the latest endeavour of multi-instrumentalist Janne Posti (Häxkapell, Sons Of Crom), unveils the first single from his forthcoming debut album, Askel tyhjyyteen, which will be released by Nordvis Produktion at a date yet to be confirmed. Titled "Aava maa" ('Endless Land'), the song is an atmospheric acoustic yet mystical sojourn into the heart of the wilderness. The album,

Conceived during a meditative moment at his family cabin – with the piano facing an open view of the lake and mountains beyond, as depicted on the single's cover – "Aava maa" emerged as Janne's fingers moved instinctively in a flow state of improvisational euphoria.

The song captures the spirit of nature, shifting from the quietest whisper to monumental crescendos. Janne's vocal range traverses an emotional spectrum: tender and intimate in one moment, proud and commanding in the next. His voice dips into deep, resonant bass and soars into bright, high notes that echo across the landscape.

A unique element of "Aava maa" is Janne's use of overtone singing. By holding a fundamental drone and subtly altering his vocal resonance, he amplifies specific overtones from the natural harmonic series. This technique creates the impression of two notes resonating simultaneously, adding a mystical layer to the composition.

Janne comments: "Lyrically, "Aava maa" delves into a profound longing for the peace and silence of the wilderness. The open landscape calls out, drawing the protagonist irresistibly toward it. Its remoteness enchants, consuming the emptiness within and cleansing his darkest sins. 'Aava maa, I am your son – do you not recognise me?' he implores, yearning to tap into its primal forces. The song builds to a climactic return: 'I have returned, open your gates, I step in!' before gently descending with chants of 'holy spirit, holy peace,' concluding with a deep, grounding calm. The song's tonal ambivalence, marked by multiple key changes, reflects the journey in search of silence and inner peace. Beginning and ending at home, it illustrates that one always carries the 'endless land' within." Link
