Finnish progressive/art rock collective Grus Paridae released a single and a video
Grus Paridae is a cooperative collective and project of two music makers, Petteri Kurki and Rami Turtiainen with special guest Jarno Koivunen on violins.
We have released our debut single/mini-EP Passes By (containing two songs) and a new video (shooted and directed by Olli Partinen) in the beginning of the summer 2014.
You can check out our video on YouTube (Grus Paridae Passes By):
The single was distributed worldwide to all major digital stores and streaming services by Z-Trading Ltd. and we also took a small physical CD edition of it.
Here are more specific information, facts and links concerning Grus Paridae:
Our collective was part of the Rock n' Vantaa exhibition at the Finnish Vantaa City Museum during the year 2014. The exhibition was open from May to December and was the most popular exhibition in the museums history.
Our video was also a part at the official Oulu Music Video Festival held in the city of Oulu (Finland) at the end of the August last year:
