Kataya is a three-member folk-prog-ambient-group from Finland; Matti
Kervinen, Teijo Tikkanen and Sami Sarhamaa playing most of the instruments,
composing, arranging, recording and mixing together. All three guys have
considerably long and successful careers in the Finnish music scene. From
bands like Wolf Larsen, Chapter One, Pax Romana and Corey & Maple to Film &
TV music and post production, these guys have a reputation of producing deep
and mighty Scandinavian sound with a strong visual feel. With their musical
roots deeply attached to finnish mental landscapes, Kataya┤s music is a
stylish combination of ethno and electronics with echoes of folk/prog era.
Kataya┤s debut album Canto Obscura was released 23.4.2008. There are also
top class guest appearances on the album; a highly acclaimed jazz vocalist
Johanna Iivanainen and a guitar wizard Mikko Iivanainen to mention a few.
The inspiration for this album comes from the deep wild forests of Finland.
Being amongst the last pure and clean, untouched spots of nature on our
planet, the Forest is and has always been a church and sanctuary for us
Finns. There are also numerous legends, myths and folklore about the
creatures living in these woods. Although mostly instrumental, this album is
a storyteller in the spirit of these old tales.
