What a striking combination of instruments! The extraordinary Quartet Ajaton combines musical elements in an unconventional way and burns previous definitions into ashes. Artists whose backgrounds ex-tend from baroque, jazz and folk music to more experimental and improvised music, are tempting listeners for an exciting musical journey. The quartet’s repertoire includes both self-written and improvised sounds flavoured with some Early Music works and melodies borrowed from the East.
The ensemble (formed by Mia Simanainen in 2014) released their debut "Elixir" (Eclipse Music) in 2016, and a bunch of videos in 2018. The new album "Early Music in the Latest Way" focuses entirely on Early Music arranged in the peculiar style of the group. © Alba Records
