‘The Land Where It Always Rains’ is an immersive installation for four reel-to-reel tape machines, an umbrella and video projection. Every machine is playing a different variation of field recordings and together they create an immersive soundscape of ever-changing rainfall.
In our fast paced lifestyle ‘The Land Where It Always Rains’ invites you to pause, listen and wonder. To be connected towards a deeper listening experience of natural phenomena – rain.
‘The Land Where It Always Rains’ is a new project where everything is created from the rainfall. There’s also a small batch of vinyls coming out and you can follow the project on Instagram: @tlwiar

Kalle Vainio (b. 1986) is a composer, sound designer, multi-instrumentalist and producer who graduated from the Sibelius Academy with a Master of music degree in 2012. Vainio is deeply interested in using extended playing techniques and preparation of different instruments such as piano, guitar and kantele. Using these techniques he’s able to find sounds somewhere in between ordinary – sounds that aren’t usually associated with the original sound source.
He has released five Project Vainiolla solo albums where prepared piano is the center of attention: Biosignatures (2023), Waves of Inner Peace (2022), Nocturnal (2017), Metamorphosis (2016) and Animus (2015). Vainio has performed his music in many festivals and concert halls across the world. To name a few: Flow Festival Helsinki, Lux Helsinki, Classical:NEXT, Tallinn Music Week, Time of Music, Musica Nova etc. He’s also a very active film music composer and teacher/lecturer at the Sibelius Academy folk music department.
