I dug through my old stuff and was happy that I found my old Kantele from high school. The kantele I used in the soundtrack of the game is the typical smaller five string version. To differentiate the two sides I played with the tuning of the kantele and even played it differently as you can also use harmonics on the strings like on a guitar.\n\nThe kantele parts of the soundtrack are a mixture of me recording and playing my actual kantele and samples of the strings that I recorded and played with my DAW.
