The Band
Hannu Hiltula: vocals, soprano sax, flute
Aapo Honkanen: bass
Kimmo Lähteenmäki: keyboards
Mikko Uusi-Oukari: guitar
Mikko Väärälä: drums
The new line-up has been performing all the material released in ?Ajatuksia Maailman Laidalta?. In addition, the band has several new songs in the repertoire, and is working with several new ones in the studio.
The new line-up released the 2nd Viima album ?Kahden Kuun Sirpit? (?Two Crescents?) 20th March 2009. Compositions of the Finnish-singing Viima contain large instrumental parts (one of the tracks is entirely instrumental), but the lyrics also play an important role. Part of the texts are Finnish poetry from the early 20th century, the rest of them are rock lyrics of today. The title track of the spacious sounding album, ?Kahden Kuun Sirpit? (?Two Crescents?), combines the history of the city of Turku with story of the character?s life in the city and in the archipelago. The title refers to the way the story handles and modifies the truth. Part of the text is based on reality and the rest reflects it in it?s own way. On the other hand the name also refers to a perfect moment by the warm and calm sea when the moon is shining and is reflected from the glassy sea.
The sound world on the record is enriched with a violin quartet and nature sounds. The band has also used some original keyboards, like the Mellotron, Rhodes-piano, Hammond-organ and analog synthesizers.
The recording of ?Kahden Kuun Sirpit? took two years. The reason for the long period is mainly due to scheduling. The recordings were interrupted by the band?s other projects, like participation to concept and tribute albums (?Kalevala?, ?Inferno? ja ?Tuonen Tytär II? by Colossus/Musea Records), and in general the so-called real life, work etc. The album was recorded in parts, but the majority of final takes were recorded between June-November 2008.
