Thoughtful Compositions In Voices Of A First Day

Voices Of A First Day EP from Berlin-based Finnish artist Jonsjooel arrives as a thoughtful blend of folk, jazz, and electronica, capturing an essence both meditative and immersive. This EP invites listeners on an intimate journey through soundscapes inspired by nature and the human connection to it.

Rooted in the ideas of Robert Lawlor's Voices of the First Day, Jonsjooel’s latest project is a homage to the sustainable, harmonious bond indigenous Australian cultures have maintained with the world for millennia.

Originally envisioned as a collection of b-sides for his upcoming album, these tracks quickly transformed into a standalone EP, bearing a unique emotional and conceptual weight. Tracks like “So Many Ways” showcase Jonsjooel's delicate but impactful approach. The song balances subtle restraint with a brooding tension, exploring themes of time, regret, and the intangible nature of chance. It's this ability to paint reflective soundscapes that sets Jonsjooel apart, offering listeners not only music but a philosophical experience.

Produced entirely by Jonsjooel himself with mixing and mastering by Totte Rautiainen and Milan Adamik, the EP reflects his jazz training and multi-instrumental prowess.

With each note, Voices Of A First Day challenges listeners to find their own meanings within the music, enriching the connection between self and nature. This introspective EP cements Jonsjooel as a compelling voice in modern ambient and jazz fusion, promising more to come in his evolving musical journey.
