Website of Finnish multidisciplinary artist Oskari Tolonen

“I’m happy to share three new albums of music with you. You can listen to them above and on most music streaming platforms. Below are three new music videos to watch. These albums were recorded between 2020 and 2022 while I was living on Kökar, a small island community in Åland. The albums are very different in themes, style and sound, but are connected by the singular condition, being, presence, and effect that is Kökar. Mostly instrumental, the albums combine acoustic and electronic sound with some synthesized vocals. 

This was by necessity a solitary project and a solo effort. However, I would like to give special thanks to Sakari Järvinen and Ilmari Kavén for lending your ears, sensitivity, and occasionally, speaker monitors, as well as for your invaluable support in general. Like a local sticker says, “Kökar is different”. Without that place, this music would not exist. “
