Welcome to AROCORA, the new musical Science-Fiction adventure for your ears! The brainchild of Mika Niilonen and Paul M. Grove, Arocora tells the story of two intrepid space travelers in the not-too-distant future. From take-off to first contact, Arocora is an aural tale, taking the listener along on the adventure of a lifetime.
Friends since college, Paul & Mika decided to start writing some songs together despite the distance:
Mika in Finland, Paul in Montana USA.
"We're both engineers as well as musicians," says Paul of the collaboration. "The time difference actually helped in a way. We kept working sessions on the cloud and each day when we opened it we would see the progress the other had made."
Step-by-step the songs started to take shape, and they naturally gelled together to tell a story.
Adding to the very international effort included vocals from Jack Keith in Colorado, vocals from Joel Steven and Ashley Macintosh from Georgia, Derek Bodkin's banjo from California, another vocal track from Arnab Sengupta in Australia, and a ripping solo from Finnish guitar virtuoso Timo Tokki.
Best heard from beginning to end, take a ride with Arocora and launch into a new, uncharted sonic sphere!
