Aave Meduusa

Aave Meduusa is an album about womanhood, pain, darkness, but also about rediscovering the light within. It consists of Finnish songs that I wrote between the years 2014-2024. I call it an album of electronic lamentations, as the majority of the songs have a lamenting quality, which I feel connects back to my Finnish and Carelian heritage.

The album gets its name from both the monstrous mythological figure and the ghostly oceanic creatures that inspired me during the years that I lived by the sea. I hope that these songs can provide a space for those who need it, to float on the sound waves, often enveloped in darkness, at times playful, and sometimes even comforted by sparkling, hopeful lights.

Visit my Bandcamp if you want to purchase the Aave Meduusa digital album and download all songs in WAV or MP3-format. The digital album also includes images and a booklet with the original lyrics and English translations. But you can also browse lyrics and translations on this website.

Purchasing an album or even just a song through my Bandcamp is the most direct way to support my music. Thank you!

Acoustic Songs

Songs of Longing

Songs of Longing is an album that came into being in the unfolding of life. Some songs were written already in the tumultuous years of my twenties, while others were written more recently, in postpartum pain, while processing my past experiences, or simply floating in an emotion that wanted to be expressed through music. What these songs share is that they are all from times when I was awakened into life; through love, through loss, through longing.

Visit my Bandcamp if you want to purchase the Songs of Longin digital album and download all songs in WAV or MP3-format. The digital album also includes a digital PDF-booklet where you can access lyrics, images and stories behind some songs.

About Minnamari

I am Minnamari Helmisaari, and I am a Multidimensional Storyteller and Creative Channeler, which is my way of saying that I see my mission in this life as taking part in acts of creation and storytelling that are expressed in different forms, including sounds and music.

After mostly just sporadically playing live together with fellow students or colleagues, my focus has recently shifted to learning how to produce my own music. I have gathered up quite a lot of songs over the years, and am now in the process of releasing them into the world.

In addition to my studies in informatics and media art, I have a music theory and classical piano education, and a lot of experience performing music in different settings. I started out in the very formal setting of a classical music insitute, playing classical piano and singing in a kids' choir, with yearly exams where my playing was graded. I am grateful for the theoretical and practical foundation that this has given me, but the other side of the coin is that it has taken some time for me to develop my own sound and challenge my inner perfectionist to start playing more freely, in a way where expressing emotion is prioritized over technical perfection...

If you want to support my music endeavors you can purchase a digital album through Bandcamp or donate to me through PayPal. Thanks!
