--------------------------------------------

I had gone a long way.
Searched for myself and got lost in the past.
I drowned into the flood of faceless people.

Hours and hours on the road.
In the rain, in the sunshine, in the snow, in the wind.
When I finally stopped, I was in a place
I did not recognize, but yet loved.

Rautavaara. Here and now.
11 new frames of mind.
11 new ways to confront life.
Face to face.

"Rautavaara" was recorded byVesa Laasanen and Dj Voja in Kaustinen (Soiva Kivi-studios)
and in Jyväskylä (Orange Room studio) during the summer and autumn 2004.
It was produced by Sami Jylhä and Ville Ojanen himself.
The CD was mixed at the famous Finnvox -studios in Helsinki by Dan Tigerstedt,
and mastered at the same location by Minerva Pappi. Both did an incredible job to underline the arcaic beauty of "Rautavaara".
