Sytyke

Sytyke is a "stick-kantele-orchestra" - it means that kanteles are mainly plucked with a stick and the kanteletype used is Saarijärvi.  

The band was founded in the spring 2005, for the kantele band competititon in Jyväskylä. The orchestra, taking its first steps, was shining and ended up as a winner in its series. 

Sytyke members are active composers, so the repertoire includes a lot of original compositions, mixed with folk music. The musical feelings vary from the traditional finnish kantele tunes to bulgarian rhythms. Singing, by all the members, give even more color to fulfilling and shimmering sound of six kanteles. The band really takes everything out of their kanteles, so be prepared! 

Sytyke's first album will be recorded in August. It includes 8 tracks, 5 composed by the band members and 3 traditional ones. The album is published by Kanteleen Ääniä and is due to come out in the beginning of 2009.
