Mithridatism is sweet stuff, really sweet stuff! Simple, persistent, ethereal but grounded. A soft postlude for Metatonic.
Maija Leisso
Just listening to Mithridatism and I think it's excellent. I have some cd's with similar flair in them but this music is apart from them in its unique way. Vast Days have captured something timeless with this musical collection.

The sensual, beautiful music of Metatonic creates mesmerizing atmospheres that you want to experience again and again. Strong, touching and haunting chords, melodies and lyrics. Listening to this music makes me want to spread my wings and dive deep into the world where these sounds came from.

The music of Metatonic really seems to reflect my own inner feelings. At times I just hear the beauty in it and feel the open spaces, but sometimes it feels a bit dark. I really like the way it builds up and carries the listener. It's not about the separate tracks, but about the journey. I really recommend you to sit down and take the journey to wherever Metatonic takes you. Kenneth Kother
Usually I get bored quite easily listening the same music again and again, but Vast Days has been very different from everything else. I find that I'm still listening to Metatonic almost daily after about five months. I highly recommend it ! Janne Timmerbacka
The production on Metatonic is very professional. Everything just works. The way the vocals ebb in and out and strings weave their way around all of the other instrumentation. Vast Days is bound for good things.

Metatonic is a melodic soundscape of interstellar findings..Making and forcing your brain to focus on the ambient sound and what it makes you feel..Listen and ask yourself...

Metatonic is a very cool blend of cinematic and exotic ambient melodies with a distinctive Trip Hop flavor. Each track seems to spin a tale of its own often envoking those deepest thoughts of life and the choices we make. Subsonic Temple

Vast Days is a solo project of Ali Kesanto, featuring vocals from Yoko K. and Kathleen Procter-Moore.
Ali’s mesmerizing soundscapes had been heard in various places (incl. showrooms, commercial videos and video game soundtracks) before he founded VAST DAYS in 2007 to serve as an outlet for his new musical creations. His vision for VAST DAYS is to create multi-layered albums with songs that have a unifying theme and a powerful emotional and metaphysical tone that can introduce the listener to new exciting worlds beyond the everyday reality. VAST DAYS’ debut album Metatonic is a journey to the unseen world that needs to be experienced.
VAST DAYS features vocals from the following artists:
Yoko K. appears with VAST DAYS using her soothing and sensual voice to take a soft hold of the listener while transcending the Earthly atmospheres to a new higher level. Yoko lives in Washington D.C. where she also creates her own trademark organic electro/ambient tunes. She is also often busy touring with Rob Garza’s (from Thievery Corporation) solo project Dust Galaxy playing the keyboards.
Kathleen Procter-Moore is a talented and experienced mezzo-soprano whose powerful voice penetrates all levels of counsciouness like a beautiful storm, leaving you feeling fresh and alert for new experiences. Kathleen currently lives in Australia where she has been singing in various operas and musicals in Opera Australia. She also uses her captivating and empowering voice to record celtic healing music.

Hope you have a wonderful Holiday season and you will be hearing from me soon again.
