sjöhäxan Beautiful folk synth with a comforting ambiance. I could happily listen to "Into the Woods" on a loop and get lost in it. Makes for a great soundtrack to reading mythology or listening actively to disappear into your own world for a moment. Favorite track: Into the Woods.

Tristan Feilla A nuanced and intentional album that blends folk instruments and synthesizers extremely well to create a unique and inviting atmosphere. Can't wait to see what Lovi comes up with next. Favorite track: The Grove.

about

Leaving the safety of your suburban home, you venture to the nightly woods next to your house, and the old paths reveal a new world.

Lovi's idea was to make background music for both a casual stroll in the forest and while playing your favourite fantasy/historical roleplaying game... or even for meditation.

Lovi is a word for the space in between supernatural and the natural, the world between the ancient and the present. The dark realm into which the mage sends you with his utterances. You can be lost there, and you can be found. It is the bridge and the chasm, the familiar trail you've never seen before.

*Except track 5, which is composed by Kenneth W. Arnold in 1988 for the Amiga version of Ultima V. Arranged by Otso Mäensivu. It's not 100% accurate, but more like a personal take on the song that had a great impact on me in my youth.

Cover painting is a modified detail from Pekka Halonen's "Nainen veneessä" ("A woman in a boat", 1924)
