Selim Rantapuro - Jazz Guitarist, Composer and Educator

Music

My second album Unknown Dimensions is finally out! Available on Spotify and Apple Music or as a physical copy, 10 euros with my personal signature shipping fee excluded.

The compositions have philosophical titles and are pretty deep in terms of nature. I call the music in that album something like abstract postbop with some free jazz elements in it. 

It was a fun experiment to test how I was able to record with my own equipment and do the mixing all by myself. I used budget mics from eBay and Thomann and the sound was surprisingly good. The interface I used was Focusrite Scarletti 18i20 3rd gen. I probably keep doing music like this also in the future, involving my own mixing and equipment. This way I am able to be very creative and publish my music whenever I like.
