Mixing jazz and world-infused explorations of melody and harmony with beats and soundscapes from the electronica school, Tunto’s “Lempi” CD is a boldly inventive map into a musical world without borders. With titles that signify many moods such as, “Caressing Music,” “Itch Music,” or “Yearning Music,” Tunto aspires to reveal his imagination is more than up to the task of translating and transposing, raw emotion into music form, a subjective aesthetic that demands no small amount of receptivity and reciprocation from his listeners. Tunto pulls it off quite effectively and this has much to do with the range of textures, vocals and instrumentals, he throws into the mix as well as the musical symbolism his melodies conjure. Tunto’s provocative third CD, “Lempi,” is an informed rendering of a brave new world of music’s breadth and elasticity; an album for jazz, world music, and experimental electronica enthusiasts.
