Hiite is an ethnic music ensemble founded in 2006. The group\u2019s repertoire is based on the traditions of the Fenno-Ugrian peoples. The material is often taken from archive recordings. The music of the ensemble has been described as minimalist, but multifarious and rich in nuances. Hiite is four musicians playing jouhikko (the bowed lyre), kantele, mouth harp and various wind instruments. The soundscapes span from familiar Karelia to the northern tundras of Siberia.<\/p>\n
Hiite tries to understand and recreate the principles of archaic music. For the playing and singing, the musicians also immerse themselves in the many ways of the music culture in question. The elements found in the traditions are cherished, but also combined and applied in new ways. This kind of approach makes it possible to compose new \u201carchaic\u201d music. In Hiite\u2019s repertoire there are, among others, pieces from Finland, Karelia, Ingria and Estonia.<\/p>\n
