Welcome
A Glance Beyond Nature is a music project by Oskari Jakonen and his uncle J. Pekka Mäkelä. The project tells a rock opera-style emotional story of a struggle evolving inside a person's head. There are four characters sung by four vocalists (Kim Calonius, Sami Silvennoinen, Riku Rahm and Stella Vuoma) participating in this project.
Oskari invited some of his friends to play the instruments and played a few by himself as well. The project was recorded in 2009-2010 and it was published in March 2011. At this site you can listen the songs, read the lyrics and glance some pictures.
As of March 2011, the self-titled project album has been digitally released, and is streamable for free on this site. A physical CD is also available
