O’s Notes: Finnish-born, Arabic composer Jussi Reijionen plays fretted & fretless guitar and the oud. He reduces his band from a large ensemble on his last effort to one; Sayr: Salt | Thirst is a solo effort divided into two movements with 4 and 7 parts each, respectively. The music is dynamic and introspective, billed as personal meditation. It promotes relaxation.
