Visions of Future – the third long play from Award winning artist Stinako arrives on the 30th October 2026 via Soliti

Visions Of Future is an ambitious collaborative project featuring the powerful horn section of the mini big band Njet Njet 9 alongside the delicate yet potent sound of the Sibelius High School Girls’ Choir. The work is built upon songs composed and written by Stina Koistinen, arranged into a diverse and gritty musical tapestry in collaboration with Ville Kyttälä, the founder of Njet Njet 9. The album reaches toward the future — not as a dystopian warning (okay, maybe a bit), but as a hopeful vision. Visions Of Future paints a picture of a world where people choose kindness and respect: for the planet, for other species, and for one another. It is a musical statement and an invitation to imagine what might be possible if empathy and responsibility guided our choices.

Initial reaction

“At first, I was surprised by this colourful and – hmm, joyful – whole. I don’t have a big tree hugger inside me, but with Stinako I could hug one sturdy oak tree for a test. Let that tell you something about the power of the album and Stinako’s vision.” 4/5 Desibeli

“I think fragility and roughness are always the best and most interesting things in music and art. Perfection kills interest, roughness awakens it. Although recordings have to be tweaked during the mixing phase, and some things have to be tuned, the idea of ​​not making a plastic work is still present in all those moments.” Stianko interviewed via Uutiset 24
