Kimi Karki is a Finnish cultural historian, guitar player and singer-songwriter. Known for his versatile guitar playing and sombre compositions for Reverend Bizarre, Lord Vicar, Orne, E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr, and, most recently, Uhrijuhla, Karki has developed his recognisable playing style within doom metal, progressive, folk, and electric ambient scenes. This variety of mostly underground styles reflects the open and intuitive approach to music, which is in the very heart of Karki's craft. The Bone of My Bones is Karki's first 'solo' album, focused on folk music. The stories told on this record are simultaneously deeply personal and universal, sometimes based on his dreams, sometimes on the literary sources which struck a chord. To maximise the listening pleasure, Karki decided to invite some friends to contribute guest vocals. Mat McNerney is best known as the mastermind behind Hexvessel, and John Richardson is a veteran musician, nowadays the Professor of Musicology at University of Turku. Stunning female vocals were provided by two talented musicians from Turku area, Anna-Elena Paakk-la, and Pirita Kankanen. The last piece in the puzzle was the collaboration with Joona Lukala. This experienced audio wizard helped Karki to realise The Bone of My Bones as rich and ambitious an aural experience as you now are able to hear yourself.
