about

The main idea for Jääkiteet started out as a simple back-and-forth kind of longer arpeggio. At some point I noticed that if I played just parts of that longer thing, I could make these (at least for me) interesting melodic changes in the song, which is how I ended up with the main, slightly hypnotic synth arpeggio present in the beginning and the end and echoed in between.

After I'd figured that bit out, though, I hit a wall. Once again. I had no idea how to continue the track after the first couple of bars. At some point I thought about the musical arc I'd thought of for the album, and thought that Jääkiteet would have to be the track that would get "destroyed", in a way, and lead into Ikinälkä. That's how I got the idea of the heavily bitcrunched middle part that sounds like the titular "ice crystals" (Jääkiteet is Finnish for ice crystals) being smashed into pieces.
