Heli Hartikainen – CHRONOVARIATIONS 'Excerpt on II & III' Music Video

'Excerpt on II & III' from Heli Hartikainen – CHRONOVARIATIONS experimental binaural album, out 06.09.2024.

Music video by Heidi Piiroinen

For 'Excerpt on II & III' music video, Piiroinen handcrafted an experiment with 16 mm film. Violent touch, combined with harsh chemical treatment, evolved into a compelling dialogue with time and CHRONOVARIATIONS' immersive sonic journey. The self-made chemicals brought a distinct character to the process.

CHRONOVARIATIONS is an experimental 3D-sound piece for tenor saxophone, live electronics, resonating metal objects, and a space with magnificent acoustics. It is an enveloping sonic odyssey that explores the themes of time, resonance, and unfolding. Through Hartikainen's masterful saxophone performance and innovative use of electronics, the album invites listeners to explore a realm where sound evolves gradually, resonates holistically, and unfolds dramatically.
