A deeply personal and evocative work that pays homage to the composer’s heritage and the enduring spirit of Finland, A. Blomqvist’s Pohjola is rich with emotion and cultural significance, and offers listeners a profound exploration of Finnish identity through the lens of a composer who has lived through stories of war and peace, tradition and modernity. The album is set for a January 17th release via XXIM Records/Sony Masterworks.
This collective memory of a nation that has endured and thrived reflects A. Blomqvist’s own journey, one that is as compelling as the music he creates. His perspective on life and art was shaped and moulded by hearing about the horrors of war through the stories of his grandfathers and his own experiences as a peacekeeper in the Middle East in 2016. That career gave him a unique understanding of the world’s harsh realities, but it also ignited a desire to create something timeless that could transcend the darkness he had seen.
It’s a solitary piece emblematic of the reflection done by A. Blomqvist on the album, with ornate accents that marks the song with a classic undertone.
