“Cinematic structure gives this song different sound dimension, more depth and emotion to the already beautiful lead piano theme. Theremin instrument is just surreal, very dreamy and beautiful, almost felt like a voice. Perfectly blended with string arrangement and overall atmosphere. ”

“Η κινηματογραφική δομή δίνει σε αυτό το τραγούδι διαφορετική διάσταση ήχου, περισσότερο βάθος και συγκίνηση στο ήδη όμορφο θέμα πιάνου. Το Interemin Instrument είναι απλώς σουρεαλιστικό, πολύ ονειρικό και όμορφο, σχεδόν αισθάνθηκε σαν μια φωνή. Τέλεια αναμειγνύεται με τη διάταξη συμβολοσειρών και τη συνολική ατμόσφαιρα.”

-Nagamag.com

“Elokuvarakenne antaa tämän kappaleen erilaisen äänen ulottuvuuden, syvyyden ja tunteen jo kauniille pääpianoteemalle. Theremin -instrumentti on vain surrealistista, erittäin unenomainen ja kaunis, melkein tuntui ääneltä. Sekoitettu täydellisesti merkkijonojärjestelyyn ja yleiseen ilmapiiriin.”

Kepa Lehtinen – Face plant
(Video)

“Incredibly beautiful, virtuosic and enigmatic work. -Face Plant- can be easily compared with an unsolved puzzle that leaves some shade of mysticism. Fascinating piano and striking sound vibration theremin.”

“Невероятно красивое, виртуозное и загадочное произведение. -Face Plant- во время прослушивания можно легко сравнить с нерешённой головоломкой, которая оставляет лёгкий оттенок мистики. Завораживающая игра пиано и поразительное звуковое колебание терменвокса.”

Kepa Lehtinen Face plant

A new musical excursion from Kepa Lehtinen …Face plant is six track mini album of original contemporary classical music written for piano, contrabass, and theremin. . The theremin is an century-old electronic instrument that’s played by hand gestures rather than direct contact.

Nobody uses theremin like i do. It is not a solo instrument anymore. Because theremin responds to even the slightest movement (even to the players breath) it has become the organic sonic cornerstone of my music. It is the element that makes the soundscape really come to life ”

Face plant “I am 50 years old skateboarder. I have always loved the expression ”Face plant” (an instance of falling face first into or on to something.) If you skate on the limits of your skills you are going to fall at some point. It is going to hurt.”

Kontula Kontula (2018) is my most beloved composition. (740 000 streams on Spotify) ”Kontula ” is new solo remake of the piano version of the theme.

Fall ”The mix of classical and retro electronic music makes ideas escape easily and appreciate the changing season. Beautiful, very, very beautiful.” Mika Roth/desibeli.net

Nowhere ”Kepa gives an original instrument a new voice and expression in a center stage manner that merges electronic with a future indie classic. ” Ryan Martin/Jammerzine

Lockdown…Arpeggios on a broken piano – the sound of a pandemic.

It is ok to be a computer… Chiptune version of my track ”It is ok to be sad and dark” The last track on all my solo records is the Commodore 64 version of some previous song. The Spotify algorithm will punishes me – lol.

Kepa Lehtinen – Nowhere
(Spotify)

“Let yourself and your thoughts flow out of the endless stream of daily worries. The wounds will be healed, the heartbeat slows down, let the river of life take you on its waves. Kepa Lehtinen knows how to sound design a cinematic story, where the emotions fly around on all sides, to nowhere, like feathers in the wind and the bond of piano keys and theremin seems like a couple of angels who dance in the rhythm of wind.”

“Отпусти себя и свои мысли в бесконечном потоке наших повседневных забот. Раны затягиваются, биение сердца замедляется, пусть река жизни уносит вас на своих волнах.”

-Nagamag.com

The Maestro of the Theramin is out with a brand new song “NOwhere”... there is more to the instrument made famous by Scifi films from 50's.

The theremin, comes to life under the direction of the rising Finnish composer, Kepa Lehtinen on his new dark andante Nowhere.“The way i use theremin is quite unique. Together with double bass the theremin completes the piano like cello and violin does in classical piano trio.” The theremin is a electronic instrument which produces sound when your hands interact with the electro-magnetic field it emits without actually touching the device itself. It was invented in the labs of KGB by Russian engineer Leon Theremin in the early 1920s.

Strumming through the invisible electronic waves the Tonality play is unnoticeable. While harmonies are modern and complex; the overall feel seems to be nonetheless easily approachable and primitively hypnotic.

Insight to the world of the Theremin from Kepa….On the sound ”Retro but ultra hifi sound has been my goal at studio. Sound of sadness and past.” “Everybody wonders at my instrument,” ”but after all it is the most organic musical instrument there is. The sound is in direct contact with my breathing and the slightest movements of my body. I played the theremin part with a sore hand that I had hurt in a small skate accident i can feel the pain in my hand every time i listen to this track - lol”

Kepa Lehtinen – Fall
(Spotify)

“Kepa Lehtinen with Fall once more showcase his outstanding technical ability in Theremin and its bond with the Piano, exploring more complex harmonies. Storytelling which flirts with a cinematic mystery that builds up a beautiful emotive atmosphere.”

-Nagamag.com

Finnish composer Kepa Lehtinen comes out with his latest electronica classical infusion.

His new song FALL Combines instrumentation that is unusual, the harmonies are modern, with a melody that is nonetheless easily approachable and beautiful. Autumn colours can be heard from soundscape created with the theremin accompanied by piano and contrabass. Due to the fact that the sound of the theremin is influenced by the slightest vibration or breathing of the body, it provides a truly natural sound although it is an analog synthesizer.

“The theremin’s role has changed in my music. It is now an underlying organic element that makes my sound both retro and contemporary at the same time. I honestly do not know anybody using the theremin like I do.”
