SARANA

I’m excited to announce that my fourth album Anoa is now released. It’s a nine-track exploration of light. The album is published by Synphaera through its sublabel Pénte, which focuses on more avant-garde ambient. Anoa is my first release on this label, with more to come.

"Anoa has been a long journey toward the light. Working on it has been a healing process for me. The songs have been in the making for a long time. The space of Anoa has opened in shorter stretches every year or two over several years, during moments when I have felt safe and nurtured.

Most of the songs were developed in the mornings, in a space lit by the pale northern sun. My intention has been that the music would not disturb the light, which simultaneously shines through it relentlessly. Since then, the forms of the pieces have evolved, but becoming familiar with the light remains at their core, bound together by the sensitivity of the dawn mind."

Do people visit websites anymore? In any case, I modernised SARANA main site - https://sarana.biz

The masters for my fourth album sound excellent. I won’t say more yet, but a well-known name is involved. The release is already getting close 🤫

Mikko Ihalainen writes about Ovi for Emotion Zine

https://emotionzine.fi/musiikki/musiikkiarvostelut/sarana-ovi-acourant-records-2025/

"Ea begins with verses of a poem recited in throat singing. The massive atmosphere brings to mind that scene from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. There’s a strong esoteric and primal vibe—this resonates with me like a sword sinking into flesh."
