The Finnish Karelia folk instrument cantele virtuoso Iivana Mišukka (1861-1919) made rare field recordings on wax cylinders in 1916-17, which contemporary cantele player Arja Kastinen has reconstructed by combining his own performance with the recordings made 110 years ago. Death Is Not The End is proud to announce the release of this historical and wonderful recording of the cantele soundtrack, reconstructed by modern cantele player Arja Kastinen from his own performance and the recordings made 110 years ago! This is the cassette version.

Iivana Mišukka (1861-1919), a master of traditional music played on a folk instrument, the kantele, in the Karelia region of southern Finland, invented and developed by Edison and Bell around 1986-1915, 110 years ago in 1916-17, before the SP disc record was widely used, The sound quality of noise and scuffling has been preserved, while contemporary cantellet player Arja Kastinen has reconstructed a new recording that faithfully reproduces the playing technique of the time, creating a gentle, delicate sound similar to the sound of zither, zither, and guitar. The result is a wonderful historical record on the theme of the kantele, a folk instrument from the Karelia region that is one of the most popular stringed instruments from 5 to 40 strings, with a gentle and delicate sound similar to that of the zither, zither, or guitar. It is mysterious, simple, dreamy, peaceful, nostalgic, and nostalgic. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
