Bert-Henrik Enqvist was born and grew up in the Turunmaa archipelago near Turku in the south west of Finland, where he has lived all his life. This album was inspired by the beautiful landscape of the archipelago where the sky and the sea meet and are always present as powerful elements of lifeforce energy. After many years, and with a background as a sportsman at the top level of Finnish athletics, he found meditation in music. He is a member of TEOSTO.

The Music Project in Finland – the Story

We proudly present our first musical production, an album of meditation music: "The Ocean and the Sky" by Bert-Henrik Enqvist from Finland. We are broadening our cultural activities by releasing a music CD that is inspired by the beautiful landscape of the archipelago near Turku in south west Finland, Turunmaa archipelago. Even when we visited Finland last summer 2015 and listened to Bert-Henrik Enqvist’s music in his studio, we felt immediately that this is such good meditation music that it just has to be released, it will delight many people. Then began the process of finding ways to make a reality of this vision and realise Bert Henrik Enqvist's own dream to release his music, a former sportman at the top level of Finnish athletics. It has primarily been a team project where all parts are important. Eva-Lotta Sandberg's long experience in the cultural sector and her expertise in cultural production has played a crucial role; through her the music project received an artistic director with the ability to see the big picture. Per Winjestam’s experience and expertise in meditation and spiritual processes have been significant for the music's spiritual dimensions. But there have been many more who have contributed without whose help it would not have been possible to produce this CD. There is something special about artistic projects, to unconditionally surrender and trust the process, to create encounters between people and formulate and articulate and create together, something that affects and touches and put energies into motion. After spending months in the process of the music project, we are now pleased to announce: "The Ocean and the Sky" by composer and musician Bert-Henrik Enqvist.
