MILLA GYRA
Milla Gyra (Milla Viljamaa) is a Finnish music creator and multi-instrumentalist whose work moves between physical pulse and luminous stillness. Drawing from circular dance traditions, runo-chant rhythms and northern mythic imagery, her music opens worlds where ancient motion meets futuristic architecture.
Gyra’s sound spirals between earthy percussive energy, minimalist melodic fragments and airy, shimmering textures that expand into an almost weightless space. It is not merely music, but a motion-driven vortex — where folklore, circular rhythm and modern electronic sculpting converge into something hypnotic, bright and untamed.
Under her new artist name, Gyra steps into an electronic landscape that weaves grand piano, harmonium, voice and subtle rhythmic architecture into spacious, evolving forms. The result is sound that feels both intimate and cosmic — a balance of grounded pulse and wide, atmospheric resonance.
Here you can listen to four unreleased tracks, each paired with its own visual interpretation — a glimpse into the mythic and kinetic world Gyra is currently shaping.
Hammerchant is a meditative convergence where machine-rhythm and human breath move as one. Piano hammers strike a hypnotic mantra, organic drones hum with the forest’s pulse, and the voice rises like an ancient chant carried along modern tracks — a liminal song between worlds, grounded in rhythm and lifted by something primordial.
Drift over Orion is an ambient journey shaped by northern myth and celestial quiet. As Väinämöinen’s kantele echoes through the stars, it stirs the ancient scythe hanging over Orion — said to cut not crops, but time itself. Drift beneath the blade. Listen where the sky remembers.
Sempiternal Undertow is a rhythm-driven instrumental piece that blends long-form flow with dance-inflected energy. Rooted in old Finnish kantele dance melodies, it fuses folk tradition with a modern, pulsating soundscape. Amid the layered textures, forest spirits whisper “Tanssi mun kaa” — “Dance with me” — drawing the listener into a shared, ever-moving pulse.
Lucent Remnant
A faint shimmer drifting through the void — the last trace of a vanished light still travelling across endless silence. Lucent Remnant is the quiet persistence of something that refuses to fade.
Thanks for listening!
