Es – whats in a name…

Published March 23, 2010 in Blurbs.

Sometimes, not often by all means, people ask me what does Es mean? There's a few different explanations to it. First the letter S has been prominent in my life, hence my name :D

Es: Kesämaan lapset (CD, LP, Digital)

Published May 27, 2009 in Music.
This is my fifth solo release as Es. Kesämaan lapset was recorded during a three year period. It is a mix of soundscapes and pop tunes. You can hear influences varying from contemporary indie to ancient classical music. It’s a summer album and a childhood photo album. The name translates as “The Children Of The Summerland”. It an homage to the Pekka Streng album “Kesämaa” (Summerland) which is one of my favourite Finnish albums ever made.

Es: Flick (CD)

Published February 24, 2000 in Music.

Wow, here's something I never thought would surface again - the incredibly rare debut cd from none other than Fonal Records boss Sami Sänpäkkilä - finally for our listening pleasure. It originally surfaced in 2000 way back before the words 'Finnish' 'Forest' and 'Folk' were uttered in the same sentence, but here is where you can hear the framework for Sänpäkkilä's patented sound which was came to such a peak with the gorgeous 'Sateenkaarisuudelma'.
