about

Otherworld Ensemble is a joint project lead by Heikki "Mike" Koskinen and Finnish American Rent Romus exploring the music of jazz and improvisation inspired by the Arctic diaspora featuring a powerhouse of some of the most creative musicians on the Finnish music scene. The music utilizes these elements while embedded structurally in ways that abstractly reference the Northern thematic. Live at Malmitalo is the first meeting of the ensemble recorded live at this iconic cultural center in Helsinki Finland.
