Music For Roads is a new immersive instrumental collaboration between Finnish psychedelic indie folk group Tuomo & Markus and jazz trumpet virtuoso Verneri Pohjola. It’s a cross cultural collaboration between Nordic jazz and indie folk/Americana players, who created a unique, cinematic soundscape.

They brought in some established guests in the studio, inc. NYC guitar legend Marc Ribot and French saxophone player Sylvain Rifflet. The inspiration for these tracks came from the many tours these Finnish musicians have had in America over the years. American landscape, history, Americana culture and the current political turmoil created a common thread for these tracks. The title for the album is a nod to Brian Enos Music For Airports. All the immersive tracks were captured live in the studio onto 2 tape and mixed in 7.1.4. format back onto magnetic tape, making it the worlds first fully analog Dolby Atmos master. The musicians used the immersive format in a creative way to enhance the music and arrangements.
