Elifantree - Hachi (2021)

The album was an ambitious and large project supported by the Kone Foundation, in which sound artist Anni Elif, saxophonist Pauli Lyytinen and sound technician Joonas Saikkonen toured the world with a portable studio and recorded music in unconventional environments with eight international percussion artists.

The goal of the project was to create something really special with very unique people. The unparalleled musical journey yielded much but at the same time challenged its creators. The scope of the project is also indicated by the huge amount of material recorded. Only a small part of it all ended up on the new double album. The selection of takes and the coordination of everything was one of the most laborious parts of the whole process - it took hundreds of hours of work alone.
