"The idea with this project was to challenge and develop ourselves. We wanted to start the creative process from scratch with each drummer," is how singer Anni Elif of Elifantree describes the group's most ambitious project to date.
In what sounds like a fantasy in these pandemic times, she and fellow multi-instrumentalist Pauli Lyytinen spent the entire autumn of 2018 travelling through eight countries to create the band's sixth album. They recorded improvisations with eight drummers, including the group's own Olavi Louhivuori. He played on two tracks, lending his seat to colleagues for most of the other tracks.
