Finnish artist Aina Virtanen has had a prolific month, releasing four full-length albums, including two under her project Puppe Magnetik. The album Laudans Deum, featuring the single "Inner Light/Outer Protest," distinguishes itself with a chaotic sound reminiscent of Eastern Europe in the 1980s. This contrasts with the catchier "The Labyrinth," highlighting Virtanen’s diverse musical range. Alongside Laudans Deum, her second Puppe Magnetik album, Rentouttavaa Musiikkia Luostarille, focuses on ritualistic ambient music influenced by Finland’s religious architecture. Additionally, Virtanen’s other projects explore early 20th-century circus music, delving into themes of decay and the occult.
How does Aina Virtanen’s blend of historical themes with contemporary sounds reflect the evolution of the music industry in the digital age?
