Ensemble Gamut!

Finland
A fresh, experimental collective, who are constantly searching for new ways to perform early music. They have created their unique sound by daringly rearranging elements from medieval music and Finnish folk songs with improvisation and electronic soundscapes.
“The title of the showcase, RE, being the second note of the musical scale (Gamut), also refers to remaking, rearranging, reposting, recreating, renewing, re-entering, returning and retuning ourselves to the past and the future, ever so present in every moment.” Ensemble Gamut! is a fresh, experimental collective of early music and folk music specialists, who are constantly searching for new ways to perform early music. They have created their unique sound by daringly rearranging elements from medieval music and Finnish folk songs with improvisation and electronic soundscapes. Their name is derived from medieval music theory, but also means a colour reproduction, a subset of colours. Kamut means “friends” in Finnish, and the word Kamu is also short for “kansanmusiikki”, meaning folk music.Ensemble Gamut!’s albums UT and RE have attracted widespread interest among international music critics across genres, and have frequently been featured among the best albums in yearly listings of classical, early as well as progressive music. Their imaginative style has been described as “refreshing, soothing, intriguing and enlightening”. Their acclaimed performances have enchanted audiences from club gigs to museums, medieval churches and concert halls.
