Antti Kujanpää, a pianist and keyboardist with a wide-ranging musical career, will release his debut solo album, Afterimage, on September 11, 2026. Having worked extensively with artists including Yona, Lauri Porra, and Aili Ikonen, Kujanpää now takes a step toward his own, deeply personal voice.
Afterimage is built around solo piano and synthesizers. It is minimalist music in which space and silence carry as much weight as sound. The collection of original compositions and improvisations was recorded between 2024 and 2025 using a Steinway grand piano, a Yamaha upright piano, and a Moog One analog synthesizer.
Album release concerts:
25 September — Porvoo Jazz Festival
