‘Somewhere Else Than Here’ offers an immersive, cinematic soundscape, drawing listeners into an ethereal realm shaped by his spiritual connection to nature. Building on the meditative tone set by Jonsjooel‘s previous release ‘Goodbye Ah’, this track continues to explore the delicate balance between the natural world and human existence. The Finnish composer and multi-instrumentalist, based in Berlin, merges his jazz roots with a deeply reflective and atmospheric style, creating music that feels both grounded and transcendent.
The brooding piano and gentle percussion serve as the backbone of the composition, while the airy vocals and floating melodies weave an otherworldly ambiance. Jonsjooel’s meticulous layering of sound fosters a sense of escape, transporting the listener to a place that exists beyond the physical world—a recurring theme in his work.
“I imagine the piano pattern being this other dimension of life where the spiritual world is bubbling around. Somewhere Else Than Here is my thought of how that space could feel like. In these egocentric and materialistic times I think it is vital to keep on searching that world beyond our eyes,” Jonsjooel explains.
Inspired by the timeless wisdom of indigenous cultures, particularly the harmony they share with the earth, ‘Somewhere Else Than Here’ is not just a listening experience but a spiritual journey. It echoes the themes of self-care, compassion, and reflection found in Jonsjooel’s previous work, while paving the way for the full release of Voices of A First Day.
