Submersion

Tapani Rinne, RA-UL

Submersion is an ambient jazz composition born from the first collaboration between Tapani Rinne and RA-UL (Lauri Heiskanen), where layers of soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, and analog synthesizers interlace like beams of light dancing beneath the surface of the water.

Submersion creates a sonic space that evokes the boundlessness of the ocean and the weightlessness found in its embrace: the sound moves through the water like an invisible current, carrying the listener toward a deeper state of serenity.

Rinne’s signature saxophone and clarinet playing style and RA-UL’s minimalist synthesizer textures shape a work in which haste dissolves as the space around the listener expands, and movement transforms into a feeling of calm. In the background, nature soundscapes recorded by Lauri on the shores of the Arctic Ocean add natural depth and further weave the work into a marine environment.

Tapani Rinne is a Finnish musician, composer, record producer, and sound designer known for his experimental and innovative approach to clarinet and saxophone performance.

RA-UL, real name Lauri Heiskanen, is a Finnish ambient and new age composer and producer who creates nature-inspired, calming soundscapes where musical elements, space, and the natural world intertwine.

ABOUT LINNUNRATA PRODUCTIONS

Linnunrata Productions is an independent Finnish music label and creative studio dedicated to organic ambient music, immersive nature soundscapes, and atmospheric sound design. The label focuses on calm, depth, and emotional clarity, drawing inspiration from Nordic landscapes, stillness, and the subtle beauty of the natural world.

Under Linnunrata Productions, music and sound are released through two main artist projects. RA-UL explores organic ambient and cinematic sound worlds, combining evolving textures, drones, and melodic elements suited for deep listening, focus, and contemplative experiences. Pax Natura focuses on high-quality field recordings and pure nature soundscapes, capturing forests, water, wind, and wildlife to create grounding and restorative listening environments.

In addition to music releases, Linnunrata Productions curates its own editorial playlists, offering carefully selected ambient and nature-based artists sustained visibility within a thoughtfully built listening context. The label also publishes written reviews and artist interviews, providing deeper insight into the creative process and extending each feature beyond playlist placement into a lasting editorial presence.

Beyond music and playlist curation, Linnunrata Productions creates original music and sound design for films, documentaries, nature and wildlife videos, dance performances, theatre productions, wellness and mindfulness events, and video game productions. Each project is crafted to support storytelling, atmosphere, and emotional immersion across visual and experiential media.
