EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A RELIEF VALVE, WAY OUT, A PLACE TO ESCAPE TO. FOR ME, IT IS A SONG: FAILURE TURNED INTO TRIUMPH, UNSPOKED WORDS MADE REAL.

AT THE END OF 2019 I HAD MADE COUPLE OF SONGS AND RECORDED THEM. IN THE SUMMER OF 2020 COUPLE OF SONGS MORE HAVE FOUND THEIR SHAPE AND THE LAST ONES IN THE SPRING OF 2021. THE ENSEMBLE OF THESE SONGS IS CALLED INFINITY WARS. IT IS BOTH A DIARY AND A COLLAGE OF ALL THE THINGS AND INFLUENCES THAT HAVE HAD A DEEP AND A LONG LASTING IMPACT ON ME, LIKE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS USUALLY HAVE - IN GOOD AND IN BAD.

I AM A 32-YEAR-OLD SONG WRITER AND A MUSICIAN FROM JYVÄSKYLÄ, FINLAND. I'VE BELONG TO MUSIC PERHAPS EVER SINCE AS A CHILD I HEARD THE SONG SOUND OF SILENCE BY SIMON & GARFUNKEL. OUR GREAT ESCAPE IS A ONE MAN'S DREAM TO BREAK FREE FROM EVERYTHING ORDINARY AND FROM THE PAST. AT THE SAME TIME IT IS AN INVITATION TO ALL THE LIKE-MINDED TO JOIN THE GREAT ESCAPE ONLY MUSIC CAN OFFER.

MUSIC IS A RESOURCE, A FORCE OF NATURE. MUSIC IS ABSOLUTION. SAYING HOW MUSIC SOME TIMES HAS TO BE MADE, IS TRUE. I HAVE WROTE THESE SONGS FOR MYSELF, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T KNOWN WHAT ELSE TO DO. STILL, IF THEY HELP YOU ON YOUR WAY OR TAKE YOU AWAY EVEN FOR A MOMENT, I'M HAPPY. I HAVE TRIED TO BANISH INCIDENTS, PEOPLE AND THINGS I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY HEAD INTO THESE SONGS. YOU CAN'T UNDONE WHAT'S DONE, OR TAKE BACK WHAT HAS BEEN SAID, BUT PERHAPS THINGS CAN BE GIVEN A NEW FORM, NEW STORY AND A NEW TRUTH; ONE THAT WOULD BE EASIER TO CARRY ALONG.

MY DREAM IS TO MAKE A PERFECT ALBUM, AS I KNOW IT. SOMETHING CONCRETE TO LEAVE A MARK OF YOURSELF TO. SOMETHING TO LEAVE YOUR PACKAGE ON. THESE SONGS CONTAIN STORIES, FLOW OF THOUGHT AND DELIBERATION ABOUT THOSE SIMPLE, YET SOMETIMES IMSURMOUNTABLE THINGS MANY OF US WRESTLE WITH SOME PART ALONG THE WAY.

I BELIEVE MUSIC STILL HAS SIGNIFICANCE. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE MADE WITH INTEGRITY AND IN AN UNCOMPROMISING WAY. I BELIEVE THAT BY PLEASING YOURSELF YOU CAN ALSO CREATE SOMETHING LASTING FOR OTHERS. OUR GREAT ESCAPE IS WHAT I LIKE. ROCK MUSIC WITH ELEMENTS FROM PRORGRESSIVE ROCK, METAL AND POP MUSIC. I BELIEVE THAT MUSIC SHOULD CARRY ACROSS SOMEKIND OF A FEELING BETWEEN ITS MAKER AND ITS LISTENER OVER ALL BOUNDARIES. I HOPE THAT THESE SONGS MANAGE TO OFFER SOMETHING OWN TO EACH LISTENER, THEIR OWN MEANING AND OWN INTERPRETATION. IF YOU FIND A PIECE OF YOUR OWN LIFE OR SOMETHING TO IDENTIFY AND TO GRASP ON, I'M GLAD.

THE NEED AND THE JOURNEY FOR WRITING THESE SONGS STARTED A WHILE AGO, AND THE END OF THE ROAD IS NOT YET TO BE SEEN. AT THE MOMENT, OUR GREAT ESCAPE IS LOOKING FOR A COLLABORATOR TO BRING THESE SONGS INTO THEIR FINAL RECORD AND STREAMING FORM. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN TAKING A PART ON THIS JOURNEY AS A PRODUCER, DISTRIBUTOR, MUSICIAN, LISTENER OR IN ANY OTHER WAY, PLEASE TAKE CONTACT.

JOIN THE GREAT ESCAPE!
