And the earth breathed quietly under the snow.

 

The term "Kaamos" refers to the lightless period of the year (above latitude 60) when the sun remains below the horizon. Kaamos is the time of darkness, stillness and quiet and stillness and arctic light, a time for storytelling, contemplation and rest. "Kaamos" also means a state of mind that is difficult to endure and is also used as a synonym for winter depression in Finnish culture.

KAAMOS RADIO is a project by Gabi Schaffner and is realized in the framework of her residency in 2021 in Mänttä, central Finland.

KAAMOS RADIO will track both the phenomenon and the variations of its internal states.

- as a local radiosphere

- in field recording

- in discussions with local artists and musicians

- through enjoyable guest contributions and radio broadcasts

- as a continuous attempt to respond to light and temperature conditions.
